INTRODUCTION:
The involvement of parents is an effective way of extending the teaching process beyond
the classroom, creating a morepositive and productive experience for children and aid students in
enhancing the performance while in school.It is imperative thatparents support the learning
process that takes place in a childcare center as well as at the home of a child. Parents who are
aware of what a child is learning at a preschool or at a child care facility is more fitted to
establish a connection between the things learnt at school and the ones practiced at home. Not
only is this connection a major component in the child’s development, it also supports the child
in the former years of learning. (Fine, 2014).
A plethora of tips entailing parental involvement:
1. One should encourage parents to be more aware about how the childcare center
operates and get to know the staff of the child care centre. One should make families comfortable
with the childcare center and the teaches who work at the centre. By doing this, families would
be more comfortable and show a greater likeliness in the development of a child. (Fine, 2014).
2. One could ask parents if they would like to participate in a classroom where their child is
being taught, and if they have a special talent which they would like to display. Parents could
also be asked if they would like to volunteer for a story reading session or conducting an art class
(Ball, 2017).
3. Parents should be asked if they would like to suggest some changes to the existing curriculum
that is being taught to the child or incorporate some specific topic into the curriculum.
