Communication with caregivers and coming up with solutions together is important. Everyone needs to feel like they’re on the same team.

My advice on creating and maintaining a good partnership between parents and childcare providers is to be friendly and warm towards both the parents and their children. We should build a relationship with them, find out more about the family, and their hopes for each child. When a conflict arises, we should listen to the parent’s viewpoint and anything that has been happening at home, listen to their opinions, and if it doesn’t match up with our own, collaborate to find a mutual solution and implement it. Then we can continue to report on the progress of the child and be honest even if it’s difficult. We can bring up good things the children have been doing and use the sandwich method in mentioning concerns.

Approach the relationship with respect. Treat the educator and family relationship the way you would treat any important relationship in your life. Work to create a respectful and reciprocal relationship—one in which families feel valued and supported.
