What is your advice for creating and maintaining a good partnership between parents and childcare providers?

keep communication going daily about child and if you notice something off, schedule a time to discuss concern only if the parents is willing to do so. never force parent to talk about something they are not ready only make a statement of what you observe in the child or family from what you have noticed normal in the past. sometimes doing so helps a parent open up. offer only advice or resources if the parent is asking for help/resources/advice.
