Partnerships between Staff and FamiliesAs the Director of an early childhood education
program that includes a very diverse community of families, you understand the
importance of developing meaningful connections between all of the significant adults in
children’s lives. You have determined that one of the program goals for this coming year is
to improve the number, types, and depth of staff-family partnerships. As a first step, you
asked staff to share their thoughts, questions, and concerns about working and
partnering with families, and you received the following responses: “I am working so hard
on developing relationships with the children, especially at the beginning of the year, that I
don’t have time to focus on families.” “My children have such diverse backgrounds this
year. I’m not sure I can figure out how to communicate with all of their families.” “We put a
lot of work into Family Day and not everyone comes. How should we follow up with
families who didn’t make the effort to join in?” “Some families seem very hard to reach.
How long do you keep trying?” “I wish our families would get to know each other better. I
think that might help them connect to our program.” “I know there are different
perspectives on parenting, but how do I balance the cultural preferences they have with
what’s best for the children?”The staff’s responses/questions tell you that most of the staff
is interested in developing knowledge and skills in this area. You decide to bring everyone
together to talk and to learn in a workshop format. You create a PowerPoint presentation
to encourage conversation and professional development on this topic, which is so vital to
