FAMILY LETTER
Parents’ involvement in early childhood education and special needs is critical in
achieving the young ones’ better learning process. Teachers and the parents in partnerships to
children’s education process, educators should get better to know the families to promote the
parent involvement as well as the development of partnership among them betterment of the
child. Partnering with the parents for good education involves sharing of information concerning
school activities and performance in addition to family information. The writing style used while
detailing the information about the school and home activities is outlining the school’s values
along with the philosophy in the school handbook or prospectus for the parent to understand the
planned activities for the child to develop in the learning process (Berger & Riojas-Cortez,
2012).
The handbook also includes the practical information which the parents require as they
send children to the learning institution. The handbook of the school contains the required
questions that the parent should answer to ensure good sharing of the information in need for
kids’ learning development. The better initial message towards parents regards the manner in
which the teachers have respect to the children and therefore sharing of information for good
child learning process is beneficial not only to the student but also to the community. Parents can
access the school activities in several ways to make improvements towards the kids’
performance. Parents’ partnerships can also assist in the classroom reading, doing committee
work, visiting the school in special days and events to assist in excursions or other duties. In case
the parents become more involved in the young individuals’ lives and educational processes at

school, they will automatically become more willing towards sharing the information required
for a child’s performance improvements. The parents and teachers involved in early childhood
education and particular need can be active through keeping the ongoing informal
communications about the children as well as sharing daily achievements and experiences.
CHILD LETTER
Parents’ involvement in achieving better early childhood education and special needs
appears to be beneficial to the children learning the process. The idea is better since the teacher
and the parent both work towards developing the understanding of the young ones while
pursuing their education process in school and home environments.
The children whose parents are focusing on the partnerships with the teachers achieve
and benefits in several ways. The young ones always perform better in school through the fact
that both places support learning activities, for example, the dedicated parent will ask the child
about the learning activities he or she has passed through before the ends and also offer more
lessons for the kid at home to make confirmations on the understanding. Children are having
their parents in partnership always settle better into the school programs. The children have no
room of playing with the school requirements because he or she knows the parent often makes
follow-ups on his or her school carry outs.
Furthermore, the young individuals supported by both parents and teachers concerning
the required learning process develop good social interaction skills through watching their
parents in addition to the school staff socialize respectfully. The kind of interaction among the
individuals will enable the children also practice positive communication and interaction with the
other colleagues. Again, the children always feel valued, recognized and very important as they

undergo the learning process since they see their parents taking care and interest towards their
lives and education as a whole. Moreover, there is an experience of a better social, physical as
well as emotional wellbeing to the young ones who have their parents and teachers involved in a
partnership dedicated to achieving their good learning process. Therefore, for early childhood
education and education procedure to effectively occur, parents’ involvement along with
excellent communication between parents and teachers need to happen.
Family Involvement Philosophy
The personal philosophy with regards to the parents’ involvement in the early childhood
and special education concerns with the teachers’ own belief about the professional
responsibilities based on the parents of the children taught in the classroom. The philosophy is
similar to the general education that the educator will involve the specific focus regarding
achieving the additional individualized requirements of the parents of children having special
needs. The philosophy, therefore, states that the parents’ partnership in early childhood learning
process helps in the extension of the teaching programs towards the outside of a classroom and
creating several positive experiences for the young children in addition to supporting the children
do better while pursuing their learning programs.
The philosophy provides the essentiality for the parents in giving support for the learning
procedure happening within the preschool environments and at home as well. Parents are mostly
related to their young one's education process since teaching is often the families’ most critical
duty with considerations to early childhood learning. Formal and informal teaching methods are
capable of addressing many areas including communication, motor, enough play, and social
interaction and self-care skills for the young one's improvement. Parents at the tender stages of
