A collaborative Community Workshop on Thursday, January 21, 2010.
Research on early learning and child care is conclusive: a child’s experiences during the first five years of her/his life can set a critical direction for future success in school and for living a healthy and fulfilling life (Pascal’s Early Learning Report, 2009; Canadian Council on Learning, 2007). The research on parent engagement is equally as conclusive: when parents are engaged in their children’s schooling, children stay in school longer, do better in school, and like school more (Henderson & Mapp, 2002).
What this research means for us is that when we join our voices as parents, educators, and staff, rigt from the start of our children’s lives and through the school years, we can make a significant difference to their health and security; emotional, social and academic competence; and their interest, confidence, and success as learners.
