PTA Fall Fest - NEW DATE! Friday October 23, starting at 6:00 PM
We’re excited to see you at the Parkview EEC PTA Fall Fest on Friday, October 23, 2026, 6:00‑7:15 p.m, at the Parkview EEC back parking lot!
We have lots of trunks for your kiddos to trick or treat, and thank you to all who are sending candy donations! All donations can be dropped off in the main office during the week.
What we need now is support at the event itself: setup, teardown, and helping with simple kid games that the PTA will provide.
If you are able to support the event, please sign up at the link below! Shifts can be anywhere from 15-30 minutes so that you can still spend time with your kiddos! The more help, the faster things will go :) We appreciate your support for the kids, the school and the Parkview PTA. Let's have an amazing event!
Important: All students must be accompanied by an adult. We ask that parents monitor their own children on the inflatable!
Costumes welcome! Thank you so much for your time and participation — together, we’ll make this an evening to remember!
If you would like to purchase a PTA raffle ticket for the basket (over $200 value). You can purchase a ticket using this link https://parkviewpta.givebacks.com/shop Winner does not need to be present.
Parkview EEC is proud to host TRIPLE P POSITIVE PARENTING PROGRAM
Topic: Positive Responses to Disobedience.

This discussion topic provides examples of common forms of disobedience and some reasons why children have difficulty learning to follow instructions. A number of positive parenting strategies are then introduced to help parents develop a personal plan to prevent disobedience, teach their child limits, and also to manage disobedience when necessary.

EEC Childcare/Preschool Waiting List

Each spring, we hear from families hoping to enroll a younger sibling, only to find that spaces are already full. To ensure your child has the best chance of securing a spot, we recommend adding them to the waiting list as early as possible.
