How does ‘Our Wonderful Parents’ contribute to building a positive early childhood education culture in Singapore?
Many parents in Singapore value their child(ren)'s educators as professional partners who offer invaluable guidance in early childhood development. Such positive parent-preschool partnership has multiple positive outcomes:
•Children experience better learning outcomes through consistent home-school approaches, while observing and learning from positive adult relationships.
•Parents feel better supported in their parenting, as they receive guidance from educators on early childhood development and gain valuable insights about their child(ren) in preschool setting.
•Educators can prepare more effective and targeted teaching approaches for children, when parents share valuable insights about their child(ren). Such collaboration also enhances educators’ job satisfaction.
This initiative thus aims to amplify such positive partnerships by sharing of inspiring stories of parent-preschool partnership and providing a platform for preschools/ educators to recognise parents. The long-term vision is to cultivate a strong culture of collaboration in our preschool community.
