Parenting
Program Description
At Highland, we believe that a child’s success in school and life is closely tied to the support they receive at home. To strengthen that connection, we provide basic parenting tips and guidance to all parents, with the aim of fostering better understanding, stronger relationships, and healthier home environments for our learners.
This support is shared during general parent meetings as well as in one-on-one conversations with individual parents, especially when we observe specific behavioral or academic concerns in their children.
