Parent, Family, & Community Engagement

What I have learned from the Parent and Family Stories is that it helps them to feel like they are a part of a community. They also feel like it is a big help towards them because they have to work and not have to use money to pay a babysitter. A lot of the parents saw how well their children progressed in life in general. They were able to see their children learn their ABCs and numbers and to become social with other people. The Parent as Teacher role has an advantage on families because they are able to be at home and support their children in their education. The things that the children learn in school, they are able to comprehend more things at home and can tell their parents what they have learned and can re-track their progress. The children can use what they learn in the classroom and put it towards being at home. Parent and family involvement is highly important to the early childhood field because if families are excited about education, then the children with follow them in that excitement.
