Parents are Valued as partners in caring for children and should be acknowledged as the child's primary carer. 2) Explain how this statement can be translated into workplace practices?

Families are given clear information about their child by the service including regular information about their child’s experiences. They can participate in decision making about their child and aspects of the service that will affect their child such as policies and procedures.

Families are invited to share information about their child’s experiences and interests outside of the service.

Families are encouraged to discuss ideas, issues or concerns that they have with child care professionals and/or asked to provide feedback about the service, and this is valued and acted upon.

The service has an ‘open door’ policy, in which families are welcome to visit the service at any time.

hi i am a diploma student i searching for the help and saw this sight which really helps me alot thaks evryone.
i have heaps of questions if someone can help plz.

practioners must be able to establish effective relationships with adults from diverse social and cultural backgrounds
Q) explain how this statement can be translated into workplace practices.

i have these two scenarios as well
pj
Pj nearly five. he is been goin to local child care centre for about four and half years. its good for him. he gets to play with toys and the teachers read to him every day. he loves books we havent got much and some of the people around here are a bit rough- they fight and swear and you know, drink too much. i want him to have a good education so he can get good job and not have to live in a place like this. yeah, that's what i want for him
Q) what might be the difference to PJ's life chances simply because he attends child care?

kirra
kirra is two. she was born at 26 weeks and was in the NICU for a long time. i remember she was so tiny. i was afraid to touch her. she has some brain damages and is a slow learners. she is only been walking for 6 months, and she still so tiny for her age. she goes to the specail education centre four days a week. i go with her on wednesday and the teachers show me how i can help her to learn things. sometimes at night i still cry for her. i just want her to be like all the kids, but i know thats not going to happen. i m scared about her future. what if something happens to me or her father. who will look after her?
Q) if kirra were to transition to a mainstream early childhood service in the future what support might her family need?

Reet you need to start your own new topic
If you just add your questions on to old posts of other peoples questions you most likely will not get much help

Hi

I am stuck on below question. If anyone can help me please.

Why is it important for the child to invite the carer to participate in the activity and on other occasions for the educator to initiate play?

Can anyone help me please.

Regards

Thanks a lot Lorina,
