Communication & Assessments
Communication in childcare is the one of the greatest ways to provide the best care for the child on both ends – for parents and providers. Not only is this the best way to provide the best possible care for the child, but it makes for a great relationship between parents and providers.
Obviously, the most important communication is verbal. However, for the young ones, namely infants and toddlers, daily written reports are an excellent tool we use to accompany the verbal communication. Such reports should not only be written by the providers, but also by the parents to provide a two-way smooth open line. We provide each parent with a daily report in the form of a working document sent back and forth from home to daycare. It is important to remember the little ones who will benefit the most from applying these techniques. For the small amount of time it takes to jot down the little details in a child’s day or evening (whether parent or provider), it is well worth it to know we are giving peace of mind to our parents!
Other techniques include:
- Parent Day
- Virtual Tour of your child’s classroom
- Email
- Regular Newsletters
- Progress Reports
Progress reports and developmental milestones are used to assess each child on an ongoing basis. The outcome is to provide learning activities that match your child's development skill. These results confirm the quality of our curriculum.
Unlike many learning centers, we are committed to working and communicating with parents. By partnering with you we can give your child exactly what he needs to become a successful lifetime learner. It's all about good, open, honest communication. The old-fashioned kind - face-to-face conversation and follow-up!
