Parents, Early Years and Learning: Parents as Partners in the Early Years Foundation Stage
Principles into Practice
Helen Wheeler and Joyce Connor
The importance of working more effectively with parents to involve them in learning cannot be overstated. Children learn from everything they experience, wherever they are and whoever they are with. The greater the continuity between home and setting, and the richer the learning environment in both, the more children will benefit.
The Children's Plan (2007) emphasises parents' support for children's early learning as an essential foundation for achievement, and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) requires all early years settings to view parents as partners in learning.
Arising from the work of PEAL (Parents, Early Years and Learning), this book will assist practitioners to examine practice and to build parents' confidence as the first and most enduring educators of their children.
Parents as Partners examines the evidence base, outlines the principles, requirements and guidance on working with all parents and provides a framework for practice.
