Functional Area: To establish positive and productive relationships with families
“Dean" maintains an open, friendly, and cooperative relationship with each child's family,
encourages their involvement in the program, and supports the child’s relationship with his or
her family.
My goals for functional area IV is/are, to accomplish positive and productive relationships with
families, my goals are as a caregiver, | support each parent or guardian in the decisions they
make in raising their children. | do this by maintaining an open, friendly and cooperative
relationship with each child's family. | fill out @ today in our class every day for the parents to
read. | also communicate by talking with my parents daily both at morning drop-off and evening
pick-up and at conferences. listen to their concerns or problems and address it immediately
| also offer them resources to meet their needs. | realize that each of my three year old families
are unique, valuable individuals and are special in their own ways. | respect each family and
their beliefs, and cultural backgrounds. | do this by asking parents to bring in different pictures of
family that can be put on display for the children. This allows the children to see any good
differences in their families. | communicate with my parents daily to keep them informed about
our activities that the children did that day or will be doing soon. | do this both verbally and
written
| also like to share with parents and achievements that they may have accomplished or even
silly things they might have done throughout the day. The parents always seem to appreciate
the time | take to inform them about their child's day. There is a parent communication board
outside my room that | keep up to date with information that the parents might need or want to
know. We also have created a wall in our center that has a picture and autobiography of the
teachers working in our center.
‘Sometimes when a parent drops off their child, the child might be upset or having a hard time
with the separation. | reassure the child that their parent is coming back later and try to get them
involved in an activity that | have set out. If! see the parent is feeling concerned, I'l reassure
them that | can give them a call or suggest that they may call later to see how their child is
doing. | also tell my parents that they may call as many times as they may want to. Parent
involvement is very essential, Allowing open communication between the parents and |, creates.
more relaxed, trusting environment for everyone. My parents are able to come to me with any
question, concern or suggestions they may have. Again this helps me keep a cooperative
relationship between the parents and |, but most importantly the communication lines are open.Resource Collection
