To benefit from Chiquitos School program, parental participation is a mandatory requirement. This organization aims to build the home-school team because it makes sense that the two of the most powerful influences in a child's life should work together. When teachers provide the formal teaching at the school and parents support and encourage learning at home, the foundation for the child is in place, and that is what is needed to create a good and solid foundation.

Finding the time to pull together the home-school team can be a challenge, but the benefits make efforts worthwhile. Teachers, parents and administrators know that all of this is an ongoing process, rather than a single event. Ongoing biweekly and monthly letters keep school and parents connected. Information is available for parents related to development of parenthood skills. Monthly social events provide opportunities for parents to connect with each other, building a strong sense of community among families.
