How I ensure that families are kept aware of what’s happening in their child’s daily/ or weekly life in my program is by having room displays such as photos and posters of the children interacting with each other and bulletin boards of their artwork all around my center. I would also post pictures of the children dancing and laughing around my class to show the parents the fun things we do. I would also post pictures of them working to show the children’s parents that my children are getting educated and that my children are learning. I am also able to provide the families with my weekly agenda of what the children and I will be working on. I can also exchange emails with the families to communicate via email, if they have any questions we can also exchange numbers. I can also provide daily reports of the child’s daily progress. I can also include and struggle the child has had during the day.…
As a teacher of young children I am aware of the need to involve parents in child’s educational and developmental process. Each parent is an expert and a valuable partner when it comes to identifying and meeting their child’s needs. As I reflect on my teaching practices, I make sure tha I provide a variety of opportunities for parents as well as family members to participate in activities and experiences planned for their child. By valuing parents’ involvement in the total education of their children, it shows my competence in meeting Standard IV.…

The starting point for this work is to ensure that you have a good relationship with parents. This is important because if parents do not trust their child's key person or do not enjoy working with them, they are less likely to take on board their advice and suggestions. It is also important that you show a good understanding of parents own strengths and interests and acknowledge what some parents already do at home. In addition, we also need to think about barriers that might make it difficult for parents, such as having several young children or working long hours. Recognising these barriers should help us to…

A lesson plan will be posted for the parents to view each week. At the end of the day there is a daily event note posted on the door to let each parent view what we had done for the day. Along with a “toddler gram/infant gram” note that will go home with each child stating the art activity, the science/sensory activity, the gross motor activity (outside play), as well as diaper change/potty time, what we had for snack and lunch and any reminders for the following day. Also we have incorporated a monthly calendar. Each parent may take this home to give them an idea of the theme that we will be doing each week, any important dates that are coming up and any reminders that may be needed.…
We share observations and daily activities through our daily day sheets and communication books.

We regularly invite parents to discuss the development, interests and medical & dietary needs of their child. By doing this, we promote positive relationships with parents/carers.…

To promote involvement and positive relationships with families and communities I believe that an open door policy is essential to have. I would do this by talking with the parents every day at drop off and pick up time. During the morning drop off time I would be able to find out how the previous afternoon went, if I wasn't there to see it myself, and how the child slept the previous night. I could also find out whether or not the child ate breakfast. During afternoon pick up time I would be able to tell the parent how the child's day went. I would also keep daily sheets for each child that would include bathroom breaks, what and how much the child ate throughout the day, as well as any concerns or questions I might have about the child. Another way I would keep the open door policy is by sending home a weekly newsletter informing the parents of what would be going on that week in the classroom. I would encourage parents to call the center or stop by to see how things are going for the child. I know that when parents are working they, often times, wonder about the child's day. By calling or stopping by they are able to peek in on the child and get updates are how the day is going. I would also encourage parents to attend any special event that the child is apart of, such as Christmas programs. The parents would, also, be more than welcome to have lunch with the child on his or her birthday if they are available to do so. I believe that, as a teacher, it is important to be the support system for the child while he or she is at school and while the parents are away at work. If the parents are working on something, such as using manners or potty training, I would be more than willing to help them by reinforcing that task while the child is at school. It is very important for both the child and the parents to have consistency in their daily routine. I believe that by…
We always make parents welcome to stay and help in any of our sessions. This would give the parents a chance to see their child in a different environment and also to help parents gain the knowledge on how to progress the child in a steady way. It would be good for the child to be able to show their parents around and all the work they do, the child might gain pride in their work. This would also give the parents a chance to ask questions and to join in on a session. You could also get the parents/ carers to bring in baby photos to help with the all about me activity within the sessions, you could also ask parents from a different ethnic background to come and talk to the children about their culture and festivals they may celebrate. This would help the class to understand the different cultures of their friends and why they might do things in a different way to how they would maybe expect. The child would be proud of their parent/carer for talking to the class and would help them to understand that everyone is different and that you might need to help your friend to understand with explaining the different thing in a culture. Parents are also given the opportunity to volunteer to help in all activity but especial the off site ones like the sponsored bike ride we do every year to help raise funds for new equipment within the pre school. This would be good for the children to see their parents / carers supporting them and cheering them on to keep pedalling. Parents / carers are also asked to help with the off site Christmas church session we do singing Christmas carols which the children have learnt within the class. A parent/ carer would find this emotionally pleasing to watch and listen their child whilst joining in with their peers to sing. A child would be happy and might even sing louder so to make sure parents/ carers can hear…
Regarding parents, they are the customer and this entails all care towards their child may need to be explained to them. E.g. what is the Early Years Foundation Stage? Parent evenings help me to improve knowledge of the child’s home life and personal care needs, as well as building bonds with parents so they feel they can further their trust in myself and my team. I also update the children’s learning Journeys which gives parents the opportunity to feed back and enhance their child’s learning.…
