ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful added resources. I am always looking to expand my knowledge base on working with families, since it is what I dream about doing. I loved the information on the NAEYC website for family engagement.

Thanks for reading.
DeleteI found some very helpful information on the website you shared Family engagement and early childhood. It states that meaningful family engagement in children's learning support school readiness and later children's academic success in school. It also talks about how critical it is that parents get involved. On a personal level I believe parents and families involvement would change things tremendously for children's development and learning. I can recall working with a child on writing their name and they told me they only practice writing it when at school. It took some time to learn to write it but before the school year was over the child had mastered it. If the child parents worked with them at home the child would have learned to write it early on and had not taken a long time. Thank you for sharing these resources.
ReplyDeleteMonica,
DeleteAbsolutely! That is a song for some of our parents! That is why they need to get involved with the monthly meetings, because this is one subject that the director states; parent involvement.
Thanks for reading
I really enjoyed the Early Childhood News resource you added. What a great tool for both educators and parents. This is definitely a site I will be adding to my course resource list. Thanks so much!

ReplyDeleteYes, diversity is very important. No Child should feel like they are left out. That is why it is so important to get to know the children and there families.
