Content: Ms Joranna Ang, Vice-Principal at Learning Vision @ Kent Ridge explains, “We value the partnership and support of parents to provide a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment to encourage each child’s holistic development.” Parental involvement produces measurable gains in a child’s holistic development. As we all know, parents are a child’s first teacher. When a school system values and respects the relationship between a parent and a child and welcomes parents as equal partners in their child’s education, parents and teachers have an opportunity to influence a child to live a positive and fulfilling life. Jasmine, a English Teacher at LEAP Schoolhouse believes that that respectful, caring bonds with children and their families are the vital foundation for a wonderful preschool experience. “ As a teacher of young children, I share with parents the responsibility for teaching their children. I also believe that each child has their own unique strengths, possesses different learning styles and learns at a different pace too.” She adds. Daya, a teacher at Kinderland Child Care Ministry of Manpower (Havelock) agrees and advocates for parent-school partnership as well. “ Through my 8 years of working as a childcare teacher, I made sure I build a good rapport with the parents.
