It's wonderful learning opportunity for students and families. It keeps the children engaged in the activities and the families see what their learning. This gives the child a sense of security and self esteem. It is tailored for each child's differences.

involving families in after care events like pot lucks, weekend camping, or holiday gatherings helps to build community and allows families to get to know each others cultures and bond together as a community. Some families have built life long friendships in my child care by getting to know each other through my community events.

The after school activities for families helps the children feel like their families care about who they are giving them a stronger confidence and sense of their own identity. They feel valued and that they have worth since their parents are taking time to be involved with them and their school. This will help the children have an enthusiasm for learning and feel supported in their daily struggles. They feel the unity of the family and teachers, giving them more courage.

By involving families, everything will go better for the children, the families and the center. The families will get to know the teachers and feel more involved with what their child is doing, so they will feel more comfortable and certain about the center; the center (and teachers) will get to know the families and children better, and will get to know what each family is like and attributes of the family; and the children will see that the teachers and their family know one another and are working together, which will make the children see that there is a together-ness there. All of this is to the benefit of all involved and especially the children.

When children see their parents involved at school it helps them to know that parents and teachers are working together to care for the child and provide a safe environment for them at school. Parents visiting school help children to feel more at home at school because school does not seem so separate from their family. It enhances the child's sense of self and self confidence to know that school and family aren't separate worlds.

A strong team including teachers, directors and families provides a support system for developing children. If a child knows their family trusts a teacher to care for them, they feel safer with caregivers and transitions and behavior issues are easier. Conversely, if a parent is angry or upset, it will undermine the child's ability to trust and then learn. If a family trusts a carer, they will be more open to sharing difficulties at home that influence the child's eating, rest or behavior.
It is important for families to feel accepted, welcomed and comfortable at the school. Spending time there apart from rushed drop-off and pick-up times will give them a chance to get to know the environment, the teachers, their child's friends and the program. All these factors help the families, teachers and staff to form the strong team that nurtures a child.

Promoting parent involvement helps to build trusting relationships. It's important to build and maintain relationships between providers and families, which strengthens a commitment to providing support for everyone involved. That relationship helps promote a team approach that enrich's the lives of each child, shows respect for the parents and teachers, and promotes an atmosphere where each child's experience is important and valued.

When caregivers and families get to know each other, the caregivers are able to develop lesson plans that are made for each individual child's need. Also you get to know the families personal beliefs. For example, I have families that don't celebrate the holidays so when I have activities that involve the holidays I come up with other activities those children can participate in so they are not left out.

When children and their families come in together for a family night, kids get the opportunity to show their parents concretely what they have been working on in school. Parents who come in, get the opportunity to better understand what happens at school, and get the opportunity to meet and interact with their children's teachers. Fostering these interactions is important for building the school community.
