Supporting Families

[Elizabeth]

Childcare providers need to be careful to not step into the role or primary educator. One way that caregivers can support families as primary educators is to ask lots of questions and discover how the families interact with, teach, and respond to their children. This way, caregivers can try to do the same with the kids.

GOOD COMMUNICATION WITH THE FAMILIES CAN HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND THE FAMILIES MORE. AS I SEE WHAT IS A HIGH PRIORITY IN THEIR FAMILY I CAN ENCOURAGE THOSE SAME THINGS IN CLASS AS LONG AS THEY COMPLY WITH OUR CENTERS OUTLINES.
