Parent-educator collaboration: an essential element of children's well-being

Besides educational staff, children's parents play a vital role as the first and best cooperation partners in the development and learning of young children.

A valuable alliance for the well-being of children.

The nursery and the family, two complementary and inseparable worlds, share a common goal: the happiness and positive development of children.

• Sharing information and observations : Encouraging open and ongoing communication between parents and educators helps us better understand each child's needs and specific needs, based on daily observations both at the nursery and at home. Our educational team carefully collects information about your child's day via Kidola, but we will always provide you with a verbal update upon your arrival.

  Our offices and parent space are designed to welcome parents in a confidential environment to encourage regular, confidential exchanges. You have the opportunity to come to this space to have coffee, chat with other parents, view weekly menus, photos of the educators who care for your children, and discover the activities offered. Sharing information is essential.

  The partnership with parents also means:

  Educational consistency: Working together to establish consistent educational practices between the nursery and the home allows the child to feel safe and in a stable environment, which promotes their harmonious development.

The partnership with parents also means:

• Mutual involvement: It's important to encourage parents' participation in daycare life by organizing workshops, events, and even simply creating opportunities for interaction. This helps establish a strong relationship between families and the institution.

• By accepting children from diverse backgrounds, the nursery becomes a meeting place for cultures and languages. This provides children with an exceptional opportunity to learn about the world's diversity and cultural richness.

• It is essential to promote collaboration with parents in order to make the most of this intercultural richness. In reality, it is parents who first transmit culture and mother tongue to their children.

• Promoting languages and cultures of origin: Encouraging parents to share their traditions, nursery rhymes and songs in their mother tongue opens the door to linguistic and cultural diversity for children, helping them discover all its richness and beauty.

• Create intercultural events: By organizing workshops, shows and snacks highlighting the diverse cultures present at the nursery, we encourage sharing, interaction and arouse curiosity in children.

• Raising awareness of multilingualism: By offering fun games and playful activities centered on the languages spoken at the nursery, we allow children to naturally integrate the basics of multilingualism.

• Mutual enrichment for all

  Working closely with parents has benefits that extend beyond just the children. It also allows parents to:

• Valuing their own culture and language: Allowing parents to share their culture with other children and nursery professionals helps strengthen their sense of pride and appreciation for their identity.

• Meet other parents: Intercultural events encourage the creation of bonds of solidarity and mutual support between parents through the meetings and exchanges they allow.

• Getting involved in the life of the nursery: Participating in cultural activities and outdoor outings (walks in the forest, markets, etc.) offered by the nursery strengthens parents' sense of belonging to the educational community.

In conclusion, collaboration with parents in daycare constitutes a powerful lever for promoting linguistic and cultural diversity, thus encouraging children's awareness and open-mindedness and ensuring perfect transparency between the daycare and parents.
