As the pandemic continues, many child care providers, early learning teachers, and family engagement professionals are wondering: How do we make sure we’re giving parents the right amount of support?
To help answer this question, the Ready4K team investigated their data from a recent survey to find common needs from parents across the country and across age groups. Curran Mahowald shared the findings in the article, Goldilocks Family Engagement, which included 3 major themes:
Parents prefer screen-free ideas for helping kids learn
Parents need a strengths-based approach
Community really matters right now
The article shares family insight from the survey, resources for collecting your own parent feedback from afar, and curated messages you can share with families to help them build community connections.
