Description

Supporting and Preserving Families has never been as important as it is now. Families are keys to the success of their children. "It still takes a community, a village, or a support network when it comes to caring for children and families". As a community, we can all be a part of the solution to "decrease preschool expulsion" in childcare. One way Serve Well has responded to the call is by helping those with an interest in the 'wellbeing' of children to understand the need for Parent Engagement and Parent Involvement. Effective family engagement occurs when practitioners, caregivers and/or community agencies and other school officials actively collaborate and partner with families. This workshop is for: Childcare Directors, Teachers, Parents, Caregivers, Community Support Agencies, and Religious Organizations (churches, ministries, outreaches, etc...). During this workshop, we will delve into Differentiating between Parent Engagement and Parent InvolvementBest Practices when it comes to engaging familiesPitfalls or challenges to family engagementPositioning the family as the expert of the childCommunity Collaboration (Who do we invite to the table?)This workshop is an opportunity to rally around families by hearing what our barriers to family engagement are. This is an opportunity for us to celebrate our successes in working with families. This is an opportunity for 'all of us' to come to the "table" and show support for childcare providers, teachers, parents, and those who work with children on a daily basis.
