The SSLC Parent Committee is volunteer-based, and welcomes all guardians of children enrolled at Stepping Stones Learning Center of Littleton. Committee member positions are also volunteer-based, and when a family leaves SSLC or vacates a position, interest to fill the vacant position will be gathered from general members. An initial orientation/information gathering meeting was first held on November 10, 2020. When new individuals fill leadership roles, training will be provided. 

The Parent Committee serves 3 key purposes:

· To connect, and find ways to build relationships, with other families of SSLC

· To establish a sense of community, both within SSLC and the surrounding areas

· To gather feedback and input from families, that may be shared with SSLC staff

· To share ideas that will benefit the environment and experience for all, especially the children

The committee will meet regularly, typically once a month. The meeting locations, dates, and times will be determined based on what is the most convenient for the majority of the members. This frequency may change, based on planned events and such. Virtual meetings may be held, in lieu of-in person, when necessary. When meetings are able to be held in person, SSLC administration will provide refreshments.

All members are to be treated respectfully, and to be made to feel valued and welcomed. Input and ideas are not only welcome, but encouraged and appreciated. We are grateful to all members for the team and efforts put forth to help us strive for to be excellent sources of family support and early childhood education. Meetings are held quarterly, and dates are annou
