Partnerships
with families and communities help early childhood settings to best meet the
needs of young children.
In order to get the discussion going, we once again used the Ministry of Education site as a resource. All members of the team have looked at the videos and were sent several questions pulled from the text on the site.
We will be asking the following questions:
Do we:
- Maintain a positive,
welcoming climate, where all family perspectives are encouraged, valued
and heard?
- Arrange the physical
environment so that family members are comfortable and “at home” (e.g.
display photos of children, provide books and materials representing
children's culture and first language)?
- Discuss how child's
play demonstrates learning and development, and share ways that this
learning can be extended at home?
- Support families with
parenting challenges, working through situations together?
- Describe our planning
process to families, and encourage their suggestions and involvement?
- Connect families with
each other and with community partners, to help create supportive social
networks?
