5. What opportunities are there to exchange information on an ongoing basis with the parents after the enrolment process?
To exchange information on an ongoing basis with the parents after the enrolment process are:
The room communication book
Staff member interaction with the parents
Update information form (monthly)

6. What communication strategies would you use? Why would these be appropriate to this family?

Open communication – It's so important for you to be having an open communication with parents about their children's developmental needs. Parents have a right to know what is happening with their child so if you have any behavioral issues or concerns with a child, talk to their parents. At times, it may seem like parents don't take the time to communicate with us. However it's our responsibility to build up the lines of communication. This can include: newsletters, personalized notes, child communication books, questionnaires, surveys, suggestion boxes etc.

Create a room notice board - This will allow you to share experiences and messages with families on a daily basis. You can add the weekly program, daily photos, children's birthdays, child / parent input of the program, newsletters and any messages or important information that you can share with the families at the centre. Just remember that all families will see this, so only provide general information that will benefit all families.

7. What would you do to establish a positive relationship with the child’s family?

Create a welcoming atmosphere – It's important to allow family members to participate freely in the center's activities. Invite family members to ask questions and to explore the centre. You can provide explanations about the activities and how they link to the program. Show the family member different projects that their child has participated in and any displays such as art that the child may have worked on.
Interact with the family during the centre events such as Easter concert, Christmas concert, Australia day etc.

8. What would you do to encourage the family to share their knowledge, skills, expertise and aspects of their family life and culture?
The service would encourage the family to share their knowledge, skills, expertise and aspects of the family life and culture by:
Celebrate their cultural day like celebrate the Diwali Day
Christmas Party – bring their cultural food
Family involve with the centre for example: Cooking play how they cook their food, reading storybook about their cultural and the way of life.

9. Describe how you would create opportunities for families to contribute to the operation of the service in an advisory, consultative or decision-making role?

Hi Tracie,

Here are a few more points that can be added:

What information will be given to the family upon enrolment?

You could also include a form of any special food requirements that you may need to be aware of. Since the family are from India they maybe vegetarian. If so, you will need to accommodate this during all meals.

As English is their second language how will you ensure that the family understand the information provided to them?

Give them a copy of all the information which they can take home and read at their own pace. Give them an opportunity to ask question or share their concerns if they are not clear on any matters.

Indicate the process you would take to gather information about the child’s needs, interests, preferences and routines.

Talk to the family about their child’s interests, what they do on the weekend, talk to the child themselves etc.

How would you ascertain family practises in relation to care giving and important key family events?

Talk to the family about important family events and also do you own research into the different cultural events the family may celebrate. Talk to the family about what you have researched and confirm family events celebrated.

Describe how you would create opportunities for families to contribute to the operation of the service in an advisory, consultative or decision-making role?

Through surveys, questionnaires, feedback forms etc.

Assessment Task 2

2 – You need to find an organisation in your area that has something to do with parenting etc.

Explain how you will ensure that the information that you are providing to families is current and remain current.

Subscribe to parenting networks and government sites (Centrelink etc) on the internet to get notifications on if there are any changes or updates you need to be aware of and this can be passed onto the parents.

many thanks.

Give them options so the child can particpate such as

- the child wearing an art smock
- changing the child into other clothes for the experience
- change the activity for the child to particpate in so they don't get dirty such as adding paper into a ziplock bag and paint into the paint and the child squishes the paint onto the paper.
