How parents take part in the setting

Early Explorers recognises parents as the first and most important educators of their children. Staff see themselves as partners with parents in providing care and education for their child. There are many ways in which parents take part in making the setting a welcoming and stimulating place for children and parents, such as:

• exchanging knowledge about their children's needs, interests and progress with the staff
• helping at sessions
• sharing their own special interests with the children;
• taking part in events
• building friendships with other parents in the setting.
