Parents are the most important people in their children’s early lives and the child’s first educators. Children learn about the world and their place in it through their conversations, play activities, and routines with parents and families. … By working together parents and practitioners can enhance children’s learning and development.
At Happy Children Nursery we believe that children benefit most from early years care and education when parents and settings work together as a partnership. We understand that parents find it hard separating from children at such an early age which is why we endeavor to make strong links with parents and families. We will be posting some of the activities we have done to help strengthen the parent and practitioner partnerships:
Celebrating our 10th Anniversary in 2023, We had a family fun day.
Our current registered children sung some of their favourite songs from the circle time.
Our previous cohorts preformed some drumming, singing and a play.
We went down memory lane and recapped some experiences of the previous attendees.
We had many activities for our children to enjoy such as; face painting……..
We had yummy cakes….
