Through a monthly newsletter Atchison Centre’s can maintain on going communication with families about, Educators, staffing, policies, management decisions, parent committee, Assessment and Rating, fundraising and all other information relevant to the daily operation of the Centre’s.
The Parent Committee is involved with management decisions including equipment purchased, suggestions in regards to programs, social gatherings, excursions and fundraising ideas.

The Centres manage parent concerns, grievances, complaints, comments and suggestions in numerous ways through: –
– Parent Suggestion Box – where any suggestions or comments are reviewed and evaluated at staff meetings.
