Creating Connections with Parents... Working Better Together
This webinar is suitable for anyone working in Early Learning and Care and School Age Childcare interested in learning more about building effective relationships with parents. The more involved parents are in their children’s learning and development, the more positive the outcomes for children. Building genuine positive relationship between parents and educators is essential to establishing a partnership approach that benefits everyone, especially children. When educators and parents respect and trust each other, they are better able to work effectively to support children’s wellbeing and development.
