Supporting children's first teachers

Parents and staff working together:

  • CSCM staff actively support parents with their important but sometimes challenging role
  • we know a child's relationship with their parents is the most important for their learning and development;
  • we respect the home and family of every child and partner with you in their learning, sharing each others knowledge and experience;
  • we share current knowledge and research that shows knowledgeable families and professionals provide the best learning outcomes for children;
  • we encourage parents and staff to talk regularly to enable us to reflect and improve on our practices;
  • each centre has a consultative group that meets regularly so parents and staff can work together to benefit families and children.
