You need to think about strategies you will implement at the centre that will make the family feel supported for example - showing them what their child has done through the day, given the parent a daily phone call on their child's progress, encourage the parents to stay and play if they would like, openly discuss any issues or concerns with parents.

What would you to involve families in the centre? Parents workshops, weekly newsletters, working bee on the weekend, holding special events etc.

Get feedback from them, ask them for their suggestions and ideas on a certain topic/issue e.g. "sun safety".

Hope this helps!
