Parent’s Rights
Your Rights as a Parent
At Trinity Weekday Ministries, we believe parents are essential partners in a child’s growth, learning, and safety. As a licensed childcare facility in the State of Texas, we are required to inform you of your rights as the parent or legal guardian of a child enrolled in our program. These rights help ensure transparency, access, and open communication between families and our school.
