SUMMARY:We Are Family! Building Stronger Connections with Families
DESCRIPTION:We Are Family! Building Stronger Connections with Families \nHi Samantha…I mean Sidney…I mean…Ms. Randolf…I mean…Maggie’s mom! Connecting with families\, and knowing their names\, is just as important as your connection with the children in your care! Families are the primary caregivers in a child’s life. An essential role for educators is co-creating strong relationships with families. Sound simple?! Maybe…or maybe not. We always have families who are easy to connect with and we always have families that we struggle to form a trusting bond with. We need to carefully look at how each family is unique and embrace the diverse perspectives they can bring to your program. Whether it’s family expectations\, family dynamics\, family rituals and routines or family culture that are creating some wonderful resources or some difficult tensions for you\, your ability to sustain positive relationships with families is essential. Every family is unique and brings a different perspective about their child’s growth\, development\, and views on play. Understanding the importance of working with families\, not against them\, can create a strong foundation of support for the children in your care. Let’s bring the village together to ensure children have a safe\, supportive\, and culturally responsive environment where children can thrive! \nObjectives: \n\nWelcoming families to your community\nCo-creating strong relationships with families\nCollaborating with diverse families\nEngaging in difficult conversations with families\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.

Through a number of rich learning activities including: viewing videos\, small and large group discussions\, music/literacy/numeracy/land based connection/gross motor/fine motor/ tactile inquiry/loose parts/dramatic play exploration and self-reflection – participants will leave with the beginning work of a plan for implementation of Indigenous ways of knowing and being with children in their own space. \nObjectives:  \n\nReflect on your own current practice and experience\n\nReview important information to inform current practice\nCreate a list of engaging activities for implementation in your own learning environments; daily\, weekly and yearly\nPlan for 1 activity to use in your learning environment following this learning event\n\nSAVE the DATES! \n\nWednesday\, September 25\, 2024\nWednesday\, October 30\, 2024\nWednesday\, November 27\, 2024\nWednesday\, December 18\, 2024\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.
