The families are the primary educators because they are the ones who set the foundation in their children’s life, values, morals, cultural, etc. we as caregivers need to get to know the families in order to learn each child’s family background to be able to assist the family with educating their children.3 Supporting the families is important to provide a sense of security and safety for the children and for the families knowing that everyone will be able to communicate if their ever is an issue or something that might need some extra support comes up. This way the families will stay receptive to assistance and parenting advice as well as open to resources.
