2. Involve families as curriculum planners and participants. Find out what families do with their children that you can build on with the group. Perhaps they collected sea shells at the beach, or a grandparent would be an eager e-mail correspondent.
Family members are usually delighted to be asked to share their talents, skills, and interests with young children. Seek out those who are willing to share a traditional recipe or musical recording. Some might demonstrate a skill such as quilting or woodcarving to children. Ask them to read books or play games with the group. Everyone can contribute.
