Parent-teacher communication often occurs rather quickly and while we’re on the run. Both parents and teachers are busy sometimes we only chat on an informal level, as parents drop off and pick up children.
Both families and educators need to be aware of the importance of passing on information which helps both parties better anticipate the child’s behaviour. Make sure you take the time to tell our educators about anything we might need to know. Is your child having nightmares? Did they have a bad night? This will also give our educators the opportunity to inform you on your child’s behaviour and habits in the classroom.
If families need to have longer talks with educators, it is important to make an appointment outside of session times rather than take the educator’s attention away from the children. Open communication between families and educators facilitate positive home and child care relationships based on trust and positive interaction.
