The Learning Ladder A Reading and Writing Curriculum for Early Care and Education Teachers, Children and Families

Forming Partnerships

Parents and teachers can form partnerships when they have:

• mutual respect for each other
• two way communication
• common goals for children

When teachers develop these relationships with parents, they can help create positive school experiences for young children and their parents.

Coming to a center is a child's first significant experience away from home. Some children often need help with this change from home to school. They need to know that parents and teachers are working together to make the change from home to school easier.
