How parents and carers take part in the pre-school
Our pre-school recognises parents as the first and most important educators of their children. All our staff see themselves as partners with parents in providing care and education for their children.
There are many ways in which parents take part in making our pre-school a welcoming and stimulating place for children and parents, such as:
-
exchanging knowledge about their children's needs, activities, interests and progress with our staff;
-
contributing to the progress check at age two;
-
helping at sessions of the pre-school;
-
sharing their own special interests with the children;
-
helping to provide and look after the equipment and materials used in the children's play activities;
-
being part of the management of the pre-school, where appropriate;
-
taking part in events and informal discussions about the activities and curriculum provided by the pre-school;
-
joining in community activities, in which the pre-school takes part; and
-
building friendships with other parents in the pre-school.
