Positive relationships with families.

I would say having a positive and open line of communication is huge. The childcare provider should be constantly listen to the parents and doing their best to understand, even in a disagreement. They childcare provider should be able to come to a middle ground Calmly.
-
During pick-up, I think it’s important to interact with the parents before sending the child home. Telling them about the good things, like fun stories, (and possible challenging things) that happened in their child’s day allows you to start building a relationship with the parents so that if something does come up, the foundation for communication is already laid out. I believe that objective and empathetic language will also help when addressing an issue and won’t make the parents defensive.

Thank you, these are good foundation methods.

You need to greet them and talk to them every time you see them. Communicate with them about their child, ask about their day, etc. Form a bond so you can communicate well together.
-
Being honest, open and transparent
-
I think that being respectful ,showing interest about the children, and always listening carefully what they need to say .
-
Keeping the lines of communication open, approaching the partnership from a stance of you both want what’s best for the child–>problem solving together as a team to create solutions, and finally keeping family’s culture and communication style in mind and being respectful even during disagreements
-
My advice for creating and maintaining a good partnership between caregivers/parents and childcare providers is to remember it’s about the child and their wellbeing. always have their best interests in mind. It is also good to communicate with parents and tell them what’s going on and how well they’re child is doing.
-
The key to creating and maintaining a good partnership between parents and childcare providers is communication and support. There must be frequent, honest communication between all parties and families must feel supported.
-
First create an environment that is pro family. Start the year out with communicating that you value the family as the primary care giver.
Create an environment of open, respectful communication. Communicate expectations of what respectful communication looks like. Give handouts of conflict resolution several times a year.
Provide opportunity for confidential parent teacher meetings
-
Open communication with no judgment and to support them with the needs they have to further the child’s development.
-
My advice for creating and maintaining a good partnership between caregivers and childcare providers is open communication. Oftentimes, I like to ask parents what they do/would do in the given situation, explain what happened that led me to have that question, suggestions on how to work on it at home, and what we’re doing during childcare to correct or maintain certain behaviors. I also try to keep a constant stream of communication going by trying to tell every parent I see at pick up/drop off one thing that I observed from their child(ren) that day.
-
over communicating. if you have a moment during pickup, say hi, ask about their day and tell them about their child’s
-
honesty, communication, trust, patience and being open minded. let the parents know you care for their child as much as they do.
-
What is your advice for creating and maintaining a good partnership between parents and childcare providers?
I think the best way to have a good partnership with families is to have effecting communicating and not judging families. We should help the family feel included in the child care and we should offer help and support when the family needs it.

Please include some ideas as to how you can include the families.

My advise is to be open and honest with parents, always try to find something positive about a child to discuss with families and to treat them with respect
