Description:
For many parents, child care providers are their primary source of information about child development, behaviours, and community resources. In addition, we can sometimes act as a sounding board for the stresses they feel in their lives.
In this workshop we will explore the identities of the parents of children we care for, how we get to know them and the power of good old fashioned conversation. Through understanding of culture we will be better able to work with each child and their families.
We will also look at how to maintain your professionalism from very first contact on the telephone or via email to the final day of attendance of the child at your centre.
