• Understanding the important role parents play as their child's first teachers.
• Recognizing behavioral and academic expectations of Fairfax County Public Schools.
• Becoming familiar with school programs and services such as: interpreters, parent liaisons, health and nutrition services, library services, enrichment programs and before and after school care.
• Parents receive a certificate of participation upon completion of the program, as well as books and other materials.
