Working in Partnership with Families

The parents of our Campbell House learners have recently participated in Parent-Teacher Interviews. These interviews are a valuable way for our School and families to work together to remain fully informed about the children’s current learning and development.  

Steady, ongoing communication between home and School is of high importance to our educators in Campbell House. Teachers carefully prepare for the Parent-Teacher Interviews as it is a privilege to be able to share in your child’s learning and development. 

The role of the teacher during the Parent-Teacher Interview is to inform, suggest, assist and guide parents on how their child is progressing in our Early Learning Program, and share ways in which your children can be supported or extended, from an educator’s perspective. 

Working in partnership, parents and teachers always discuss ways to enhance opportunities for children to pursue their learning and independent thinking, to create, cooperate, collaborate, and negotiate. When School and families work together in partnership, it creates a positive, powerful foundation, which is important for building happy, contented learners.  

Children thrive when families and educators work together in partnership to support young children’s learning.”

We thank parents for their interest and participation in all that is happening in the ELC classrooms. We trust that all parents who attended the recent Parent-Teacher Interviews found them to be beneficial as we progress through the second semester.
