As an LAUP parent, we encourage you to participate in the Parent Alliance for Leadership (PAL) program. PAL is a series of parent workshops, to help you learn current child development trends and strategies to support your child's growth and educational success. Some popular topics include Discipline, Nutrition, Home-School Activities and Transition to Kindergarten.

At the Parent Alliance meetings, you can develop your leadership skills, learn more about services in your community and show other parents how to support the children in your community. The Parent Alliance will:

• Create, support and encourage family events
• Strengthen communication between parents, preschools and community agencies
• Help parents learn more about programs and services in the community
• Give feedback about your child's preschool experience
