Engaging Families in Early Education

Stories

There is evidence that strong relationships between educators and families in early childhood settings strengthens children’s engagement with education (Lewis et al, 2023; Hadley et al, 2021). Partnership and strength-based approaches require getting to know families and opening channels of communication that deepen over time. These digital stories are products of such relationships and can be used to build the capacity of the workforce to engage with the strengths in families.
