All adults in our community have the responsibility to care for every child in our school. Parents are involved in the school through volunteering and talking daily with their children about school. Parents provide a home environment that supports academic skill practice and a positive attitude toward education, as well as a positive attitude toward other people. A caring school community makes a difference in the lives of its children (Reynolds, 2017).
Because the family and the early childhood practitioner have a common interest in the child’s well-being, we acknowledge a primary responsibility to bring about communication, cooperation, and collaboration between the home and early childhood program in ways that enhance the child’s development (NAEYC, 2011).
ED in preteens 1. Why are eating disorders becoming more common among the pre-teen population?

An evidence-based practice in education is a process of using experimentally testing, research, invention, strategies, trial and error research, and replicate experience multi times. The results are published for teachers, administrators, and educators in a peer-review journal. The education community is not always help with evidence base practice results. “No matter how much scientific evidence supports a given a curriculum, program, or teaching method, a teacher should never assume effectiveness” (Dietrich, Kenworth, & States, 2007). If a teacher is not happy with the practice he or she can modify one component and document any changes, or improve the student’s level of learning.

Parents of young children may not have the awareness or financial stability to provide early education exposure in lieu of starting school. Parents must invest in their child’s education. Reinforcing what was learned in school at home maintains the continuum of learning. Guiding and teaching responsibilities, for instance, doing homework, school clubs and sports fosters independent growth. Children and adolescents living in poverty go to school without proper nutrition.

Chapter 4 The most commonly accepted contemporary framework for viewing parental involvement was inspired by the ecological model of Bronfenbrenner (1979, 1986) and designed from a social and organisational perspective (Epstein, 1992). It identifies three major contexts within which children develop and learn: the family, the school, and the community (see Figure). The Overlapping Spheres of Influence model recognises that there are some practices that family, school and community conduct separately and that there are others that they conduct jointly in order to influence the growth and learning of the child. According to Epstein, successful partnerships must be forged between these three spheres in order best to meet the needs of the child.
EFFECTS OF PARENTS AND TEACHERS INTRACTION ON DELOPMENT OF EARLY CHILDHOOD STUDENTS IN MIANWALI 1.1 Introduction: The importance of good parent-teacher relationships has been well documented. Research has shown that parent involvement in education benefits not only the child but also the parents and teachers (Eldridge, 2001). The function of a good parent-teacher relationship is much more than just like a vehicle for status reports from teacher to parents on a child’s performance.
THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IN THE USA 1.Introduction Early childhood is an essential stage of life in terms of a child 's physical, intellectual, emotional and social development. Growth of mental and physical abilities progress at an amazing rate and a very high proportion of learning takes place from birth to age six. It is a time when children particularly need high quality personal care and learning experiences. Approximately 60 to 70 percent of preschool-age children in the USA attend an early childhood program or child care program out of the home, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.
As a teacher, it is my responsibility to share information on the development of the child and have a clear and constant flow of dialogue with the family. This will enable both parties to deal with any issues that may arise within the family, school or community. It also my belief that parents should have an active part in their child’s learning and be able to lend a hand whenever necessary, and having open communication with them will allow this transparency and connection between home and school. The community is vital in ensuring that the facilities around the community and school is appropriate for the different children and families to live in and grow. A very good example of this successful collaboration is the Reggio Emilia approach in Italy.
Therefore, students need to be helped perform at their level of ability in order to succeed. Building a strong parent-teacher relationship will benefit the three participants; the parent, the teacher and most importantly, the child him/herself (Holdaway, 1979). Continuous contact and help from the parents will help the educator relate his/her classroom environment with what the students experience within their home environment. Therefore, this puts the responsibility on all the adults present in the child’s life to ensure that the experiences that the child is facing are helping him/her extend his/her learning achievement (Dombro,
