Ways to Improve Parent / Provider Communication
These are just a few ways to improve Parent/Provider Communication:

Post a short list of each day's activities for parents to read with their child, when they arrive in the morning.
Send home our parent handout, Parents and Kids Together. If you send it home at the same time each month, parents will look forward to receiving it. Parents like the suggestions of books to read to their children at bedtimes and enjoy our recipes, since so much family time at home is spent in the kitchen. Parents especially appreciate the ideas that help make the time they spend together as rich as possible. Be sure to jot notes to parents on the handouts about the things their child really enjoyed that month.
Make one-sided copies of Parents & Kids Together each month and use the blank sides to create your own newsletter with information about your program's special events and specific information about each child.
Extra copies of Parents & Kids Together with the name, address, and telephone number of your program can serve as an "ad", placed on the resource table at your local library, or posted wherever parents of young children gather.
Keep in touch when your program is on vacation in the summer or over holidays by sending Parents and Kids Together in the mail.
Make it available in SPANISH. Parents & Kids is now available in Spanish on our Web site
