Rationale/Reflection
NAEYC Standard:
STANDARD 2. BUILDING FAMILY AND COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS
Candidates prepared in early childhood degree programs understand that successful
early childhood education depends upon partnerships with childrens families and
communities. They know about, understand, and value the importance and complex
characteristics of childrens families and communities. They use this understanding to
create respectful, reciprocal relationships that support and empower families, and to
involve all families in their childrens development and learning. (NAEYC, 2010)
supportive and respectful relationship with the families empowers the family and child to
achieve the best learning experience. Working together and involving the families and
communities creates an environment for the children to strive and be successful in their
early childhood education.
