I think it's great to communicate daily and to try to say something positive about the child even when they had a hard day

Check your attitudes and preconceptions at the door. Meet the family where they are in terms of emotions, culture, etc. Greet parents with a positive attitude every day. If you have something negative to communicate present it in a professional manner and make sure to include the positives.

How can you take the lead in creating positive provider-family relationships?

Remember that you are a child care professional. Keeping information confidential is important. Having information in your Policy that is up to date and accurate so parents know what to expect from you. Being available as much as possible for parents and the children. Making sure you're giving accurate and positive feedback.

When family enters class environment to make sure you welcome them and there child by using their names. Encourage them to ask any questions they may have about the program, child, or any other concerns. Listening to them attentively to make sure you are both on the same page and provide best care and needs for the child. Also, having open communication daily in the mornings and during up are essential about their child's day and progress. We have daily sheets for each child and also take photos of activities they are doing. Parents love to see their child happy when they are at work and makes it positive environment for both parents and children.

Always greet families warmly, use the childs name when saying hello and good bye for the day. Ask families questions about upcoming sports events their children participate in, family vacations etc. Show genuine interest.

We can start positive provider/family relationships by establishing a sense of respect and trust when we first meet the families. We can welcome them into the program, ask questions about the family and student, ask if there are any questions that we can answer for them, greet students by name, learn the parents names, and communicate daily at drop off and pick up.

Make sure the parents feel heard. Ask them open ended questions about them and their child and their family. Show interest in their child's likes and dislikes. Help brainstorm solutions for any concerns.

From the first visit encourage communication. Let them know they are free to call or drop in any time to ask about their child. Send home daily activity sheet so the parents can feel a part of their child's day. Share any special things their child may have done that particular day.

By remembering that I am the professional and the way that I start the communication and interaction will generally depend how our communication will go. That it is my job to help create and maintain an open and trusting mutual relationship. To remember and ask about things parents have shared. To keep things they have shared confidential and share concern and interest in their lives.

I will take the lead by initiating conversations with families, not just wait until they ask me questions or there is a problem, but to make a point of talking with families each day, when possible.

Everyday is communication day at our child care. I take the lead and make sure that parents have updates of any behavior issues or needs that come up. We write notes if needed but mostly its verbal each day. This really helps families feel that they are being heard and acknowledged about staying updated on their childrens progress.

Making sure that we are greeting the children and the parents warmly at drop off, and by asking the family questions about the child at home, in a warm and inviting manner. Asking the parents what they do at home during transitional times of the day, and for certain behaviors.

Greeting parents when they come in. Ask how their day was or if you knew the family did something fun over the weekend ask how that went and their favorite parts. This just starts leading to a relationship where the families know you take interest in them and their child.

1. How can you take the lead in creating positive provider-family relationships?

I currently am focusing on creating positive relationships by greeting families daily, offering tea & coffee, schedule conferences, and working to get to know them. I am building relationships by spending time and developing a rapport.
