Promoting Partnerships with parents
As many children begin to settle school, new rooms in nursery and child care provision again, we recognise that this is an excellent opportunity for you as early Years practitioners to build upon your partnerships with parents.
Here are five top tips to engage your parents so that you can work together to help children learn and develop:
1) Seize opportunities to gather information informally from parents
2) Ensure that parents are aware of the EYFS curriculum and age-related expectations noted in the Early Years Outcomes
3) Develop a lending library to ensure children can access developmentally appropriate resources in the home
4) Provide stay and play sessions/workshops
5) Know your families!
