3. Exchange information regularly. Encourage families to keep you up-to-date on important family events such as new pets or vacations. Talk informally and frequently. Support families who are dealing with upsetting circumstances. Confidentiality is a must.
Share information about how and what children are learning in your program and at home, too. Help families appreciate children’s scribbles. Explain what children learn when they build with blocks or collect rocks. Demonstrate effective ways to guide children’s behavior and develop early reading skills. Encourage reading, shopping, and playing games together.
Maintain a portfolio of children’s work and photographs of them at play so families can review children’s learning progress with you.
