There are many ways professionals can get to know the children in their programs along with their families. learning about each child in the program individually is a great way to start. An example of doing this, in my experience, is having one on one time with students in the cafeteria during students lunch time and starting conversations that will help you to get to know the child you are working with. another example of getting to know the child is by giving all students a questionnaire asking questions like " what is your favorite food" and " what are your hobbies and why do you enjoy them?" These are some ways you are able to know your students more. Other ways you can connect with your students and get to know them as well as there family is doing a show and tell within your program that is based around family, the traditions in your family and what does family mean to you. This demonstration can help increase connections with students and allow professionals to get to know the child's family. Another way to build relationships and get to know families of the children in your program is having a family night. This is something from my own experience that has really been a great relationship builder between the staff and the parent/guardian of the child/Children that are in the program.

There are many ways professionals can get to know the children in their programs along with their families. my favorite in my classroom is spending little one on one time finding out their likes and dislikes and sharing that information along with their parents and keeping up the communication with both parent and child to make them feel comfortable.

How you are a professional can get to know the children and families in their care / program is you can help families engage in their child’s learning and development. Parents are their child’s first and best teacher, and when you help families support their child’s learning at home, you engage them in working toward a common goal: school readiness. Some plans you might want to offer families, is day-to-day information on children’s activities and development, Regular conferences on children’s development, Events to showcase children’s work – art work, science projects, writing skills, drama, Information in newsletters or on your website about activities, goals and fun ideas to try at home, and sent home packets with the child about parenting topics like SIDS, communicable diseases, age-appropriate activities, why children bite and how to discourage it.

There are many different ways a professional can get to know the child and families in their care/ program. A main way to me would be taking the time to present yourself in their surrounding (home, school, etc.) to see how they interact with their daily life. Time with people and seeing what they like and dislike is a fast way to get to know them.
