Parent education is very important in an early education classroom. In Early
Childhood classrooms play is an essential part of the day, if the parent does not
understand how important this is for the child’s learning process, all could be lost.
Parents may back away from the school, becoming uninvolved or want to pull their child
out of the program. Children really need that time with parents also parent involvement is
huge in a child’s life. Children look up to their parents for everything the person that they
are modeling themselves after. If teachers get parents involved, interested, and
understanding of their children’s learning process, their children will be more likely to
accept and excel in school. The parents can also bring some of the techniques that the
teacher is doing in her classroom into the home this enforces these rules and behaviors
greatly. I feel it is so great to get parents involved now there really are great parents out
there and we all just want what is best for the child. Sending projects home is also great
for those parents who are unable to make it into the classroom on a regular basis doing
these assignments at home enforces the importance of school also in children.
