More on Parent-Provider Communication...
We talked last week about the importance of a parent-provider relationship. A site that contains a wealth of information on the topic is the Parent-Provider Partnership Website.
This site is dedicated to helping providers and parents give better support to children as they grow. It is written for childcare providers—those who take care of infants and toddlers, preschoolers, or school-age children. It explains how providers can work with parents and talk with them about many different issues. To support parents, the site includes materials that providers can print out and share with them.
This site is not designed to provide information about caring for children directly in childcare settings. Instead, Provider-Parent Partnerships talks about the needs of parents and providers as they work together to help children grow.
Many parents do not participate in parenting education. But they do see childcare providers every day. And when they see those providers, they often talk about the children. This site will help providers find good information to give to the parents. It also will help them understand the parents’ needs. And, in the end, we hope it will help children as they grow into healthy, happy, capable, and kind adults.
With tons of information about building relationships with parents and with children, topics such as child development, behaviors & guidance, supporting parents, health and safety, and much, much more; this site from the Purdue Cooperative Extension Service at Purdue University should become one of your most referred to websites.
I hope you enjoy Parent-Provider Partnership Website and find it useful. Let me know about your favorite websites as well.
