Professionalism and Partnering with Families

Wednesday September 12, 2018       Time 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm       2 hours 

Fee: $35.00       FCC Fee: $20.00 (Promo Code)                                                                              

As child care providers we are often the parent’s first line of information about child development, behaviours, and community resources. As well, we are sometimes a sounding board for the stresses they feel in their lives. We will look at how to maintain your professionalism and how to build a partnership with families from the first day of attendance to the last day in child care.

Objectives:

  • Recognize who are the parents of the children we care for?
  • Explore how we get to know parents.
  • Share resources to help you partner with families.
  • Discuss communication tools.

*Suitable for students, adult instructors/administrators, novice, intermediate and experienced early learning child care professionals working with children of any age from infant/toddlers to school age children, including children with extra support needs.

Presenter: Vicki Lepper. Vicki has been providing licensed child care in Coquitlam since 1989 and is a passionate child care advocate. Vicki was a board member for BC Family Child Care Association from 2011 to 2015. Vicki presents workshops, sits on the Tri–Cities ECE Community, networks with child care providers, received many awards and is also actively involved in her community. Vicki loves connecting and sharing resources with those who have chosen a career working with children.
