TA Tip: Join our Virtual Learning Community for Preschool Early Childhood Educators

Did you know Child Care Aware of NH has a Preschool Virtual Learning Community (VLC)?  



Our Preschool VLC meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 6 to 7:30 PM via Zoom. On November 20th, Lindsey Parisi, E.Ed. ECMPWT will present: "Teamwork Makes the Dream Work". This session will focus on fostering positive interactions within your teaching team and provide strategies for navigating challenges that may arise from diverse team dynamics.

Join us to explore what it takes to have a cohesive teaching team in the classroom. We will watch a video on “Teamwork” from Better Kid Care and then engage in conversation using an informative discussion guide. We will end with a fun activity to better understand the point of view of the different teaching roles that can be present in a classroom.  

Register from your NHCIS professional registry account by 4PM on November 19th.

Resources for Families

Children’s first and most important teachers are the family members who keep them safe and nurture their development. When a child enters an early learning program, the partnership between families and educators ensures that the experience is comforting and successful for all. In high-quality programs, leaders and teachers strive for respectful, reciprocal communication with families. They communicate clearly and regularly with families; they also seek information from families in various ways.  

Here are some ways you can communicate with your child’s teacher or program leader to create and maintain a great relationship.
