hig hly impacted by parental
involvement. When parents
are involved in children’s
early education, it boosts their
self-confidence and increases their ability to take risks. We
create an environment that encourag es parental partnership

teachers, volunteers help teachers achieve learning outcomes
in a better way and this in turn assists parents to understand
the methodolog ies and techniq ues the school uses to conduct
teaching -learning .
