In my opinion one of the key components to a child’s success is parent involvement. When parents are active in their child’s education, and collaborate with teachers and administration, they are showing their child that they care. They are then able to learn from teachers and staff about areas of improvements or goals that the teacher may have for the child.  When both parents and teachers are on board the child will see the benefits.

 

Involvement opportunities for parents and family members benefit young children and the early childhood field because everyone is coming together, collaborating for the better.  When everyone works together, and gets involved, they create a community of people who are working towards a common goal. This goal may be increasing funding, or having a center carnival. Whatever it is, the more family involvement the better. Getting involved keeps families and staff bonded, and gives families insight on what is going on in their child’s education.
