English Communications for Early Childhood Educators

The English language can be so maddening :/

QUICK TIP: Making Connections With Parents HOST A MINI DISPLAY. Imagine, pick up time, say 5:00 6:00 pm, a long table with a programming display of the children's art work or panel of learning stories. If there is enough staff, parents can peruse and enjoy the display while their children get slowly dressed. The display will present some nice talking points between parents and the staff.

QUICK TIP: Making Connections With Parents LET THE PARENTS GET TO KNOW YOU. Parents don’t need to know everything, but remove the mystery about yourself; where you're from, where you went to school, how long you've worked in child care; get comfortable talking about the things you'd include in a social media bio.

Have a good weekend!

QUICK TIP: Making Connections With Parents LISTEN TO PARENTS when they are speaking to their child. You will pick up on the nature of their relationship and their child management style. It's the little things that help. If you notice a parent consistently arranges their child's cubby space, you know cleanliness and order are important, and can guide the child's day accordingly.
