WHAT IS THE EFA?

The Educare Family Association (EFA) is a year-round organization where parents/guardians of children currently enrolled in Educare work alongside teachers to forge a sense of unity and to enhance our children’s positive learning experiences.

The EFA recognizes the important influence of family and strives to build relationships with parents/guardians who have good ideas, know their children well, and have their children’s best interests in mind while supporting enrichment programming at Educare.

WHAT DOES THE EFA DO?

Organize, Fundraise, Outreach, Support!

The EFA organizes special events throughout the year, helps raise money for student enrichment programs and teacher training, and participates in local outreach and community programs.  Notable events that enhance interaction with families and the community include:

• Parents Night Out (Sept., Dec., Feb., Apr. and more)
• Trunk-or-Treat
• Holiday Open House
• Stuffing Drive
• Angel Tree
• Teacher Appreciation Week
• Brunswick Veterans Day Parade

The funds raised by the EFA are independent of the Center (tuition and registration fees) and are controlled by the EFA members.  EFA members vote on and plan for all proposed activities and make all EFA supported budget decision.

HOW DO I GET INVOLVED IN THE EFA?

It’s Simple & Flexible!

Every parent and guardian with a student at Educare is automatically a member. We recognize that with hectic work schedules and super-busy lifestyles it’s hard to find extra time to get involved. That’s why we embrace flexible participation where you give what you can when you can:

• Come to a meeting. We meet the first Wednesday of each month from 6:30 – 8:00 pm. FREE childcare is provided during the meeting.
• Volunteer to help with an event. Send in food, come a little early to set up or stay a little late to help clean up.
• Become/Support a Room Parent. Each class at Educare has a parent volunteer who helps coordinate class-info sharing and helps organize support for upcoming events.
