Parent involvement at DVLC provides a strong sense of community. Teachers engage in open communication with families to personalize learning and deepen instruction and content. Parents are provided with ongoing opportunities to participate in field trips, reading in the desert, and special events throughout the year. Parents also share values and traditions through meaningful experiences that enhance the program. Teachers regularly encourage families to volunteer to work with children and supplement what they are learning in the classroom.

​

The DVLC culture is one of respect and kindness. Through the leadership of the Director and Staff, DVLC’s standards are extended to our families to help them create a place of like-minded expectations in our community. Our school demonstrates behavior that inspires future outstanding citizens of our world. DVLC is a safe and loving learning haven for the young child. While DVLC provides space to learn, explore and develop, some non-negotiable boundaries and limits are set with students and parents. Clearly communicated procedures, expectations, and goals foster and sustain a strong community among families, teachers and staff.
