Parental Involvement

As a member of the Pre-school Learning Alliance, Nomansland Pre-school recognises parents/carers as the first and most important educators of their children. All of the staff see themselves as co-workers with you in providing care and education for your child. There are many ways in which parents/carers take part in making the pre-school a welcoming and stimulating place for children, parents and carers, such as:

• exchanging knowledge about their children's needs, activities, interests and progress with the staff;
• helping at sessions of the pre-school;
• sharing their own special interests with the children;
• helping to provide, make and look after the equipment and materials used in the children's play activities;
• being part of the management of the pre-school;
• taking part in events and informal discussions about the activities and curriculum provided by the pre-school;
• joining in community activities in which the pre-school takes part; and
• building friendships with other parents and carers in the pre-school.
