Always be welcoming to the parents, make them feel included in the classroom. Always try and have a conversation with them at drop off/pick up. Share positive notes about their child’s behavior at school. Ask them questions about the child/how the child behaves at home. Open dialogue. At pick up I make sure the parents feel welcome to hang out a bit before leaving, meet some of the other parents/kids, get to see a bit of the classroom dynamic.

I think when trying to maintain a healthy relationship with parents it is important to always establish strengths/positives of the child, and then talk about potential weaknesses, and discuss how we all can support them in those areas, and what we could be doing better, or if there are any resources available to them that you think would help. But also focus on allowing the primary caregivers to feel like they are being heard, and can have healthy discussions with the teachers.
