| | Parental involvement in early learning benefits kids and teachers
It is well established that providing children with quality early learning is essential in developing the language, cognitive, and social skills they need to succeed in school and in life. This is why early learning teachers play a significant role in nurturing young children's growth and fostering a love of learning.
Get Involved
Teachers and providers always appreciate when parents are actively involved in their kids' education. - Talk to your children every day about their day at school and what they learned.
- Attend open houses, PTA meetings, and parent-teacher conferences to build a strong relationship with your child's teacher.
Communicate Often
It can be challenging for busy parents to speak with teachers often, but there are other ways to maintain regular contact. - Introduce yourself at least once in person and check in when you can through e-mail, written notes, or phone calls, depending on the teacher's preferences.
- Keep track of your child's progress, even if they are performing well. Teachers like to hear from parents and know they are engaged in their child's education.
Read Daily
Reading aloud to your children every day helps them develop skills for school success. - Encourage your children's interest in books by talking about stories that they like and providing books they will enjoy.
- Take time to enjoy a book yourself. Kids learn by example, so if they see you reading, they will want to read, too!
