Everyone in the school understands the importance of parent involvement and embraces the help from each party to enhance the development of the children in the center. No one is afraid for the other party to be there and they work collaboratively to reach a common goal!
We all know that being a parent is being constantly on the go or worrying about what to do about each thing. It’s crazy to think that a parent would be willing to come and volunteer their time to help the center or school. Well, the funny thing is, is that they will. If they care about their child’s education and the facility that they go to then they will come and help where they can. Sometimes you may only have a few that will always be there to help, but that is ok.
When parents know that they can come to talk to you or the director then they feel more comfortable with you and leaving their child with you. If you show them that you genuinely care about their concerns and that you will address the concern appropriately as well as communicate outcomes to them then they will be a lot more understanding as well as more eager to make the facility the best that it can be. Word of mouth means the world to a lot in this business.
When you build community within the classrooms by pairing children together you are helping promote acceptance of every child in the class, the families are being appreciated and a sense of self-worth for both parties is apparent. Pairing children with other classmates does so many things for not only the children but for the teacher and even parents.
Provide a time without interruptions to get to talk to each individual parent about their child’s progress. It is imperative to share the child’s milestones with the parents, along with any concerns or information that needs to go to the parent. Provide this time to the parent while their child is in the classroom or in the evening when they can come back, but there is care provided while the parent can concentrate.
When you hear the old saying that it takes a village to raise a child, well they weren’t kidding. It takes everyone that is in that child’s life to show them genuinely, how they love and care about them and the teacher has an even harder aspect because they have to show the same respect to the child’s parents or the child will see the disconnect. We all have to be on the same page and have to help the child succeed and grow.
