What Parents can do to Help with their Child’s Early Development

At Little White House Learning Center of Milford, CT we strive to develop the foundation of your child’s early education through various cognitive and social skills. These skills learned in school should be nurtured and further developed by parents in the home. Parents that play an active role and stay on top of their children’s curriculum will create a more positive and successful learning experience for both parent and child. Here is a recommended article here, Panworld Education states “young children’s acquisition of problem-solving, language, and social-emotional skills are facilitated by interactions with their parents.”

We all want to make sure we are doing the very best we can and we are often asked, “What can I do at home to help?” The first step to creating a better environment for your early childhood development is an open line of communication between parents with teachers. Developing a relationship with your child teachers is paramount in establishing a great school/home environment. At Little White House Daycare we understand the importance of this process and ensure the parents involvement throughout every step of their child’s time here at the center. We are happy to share this testimonial from one of many great families here at the center:

“My sons attended Little White House in the 3 and 4 year old programs. The teachers really connected with me and kept me informed about the progress my children made and about the areas they had concerns with. They had a genuine love for the children and a true knowledge of the development expected in each class, I loved how they warmly welcomed us each morning and about our weekends on Monday mornings.”

Understanding the value of the parent-teacher relationship our staff goes above and beyond to involve parents on a daily basis with their children’s curriculum and activities. While there are many ways to educate a child, studies show that simply providing a loving, safe and nurturing environment is the foundation. Our advice, read to them often, sing to them when you can, and always, always play!
