As family child care providers we are often the parents’ first line of information about child development, behaviours, and community resources. As well, we are sometimes a sounding board for the stresses they feel in their lives. In this workshop we will look at developing partnerships with parents, how we get to know them and the power of good old fashioned conversation.

We will also look at how to maintain your professionalism from the time you have first contact on the telephone to the final day of attendance of the child at your centre.
