1 Clock Hour
CDA Settings:
  • Infant/Toddler
  • Preschool
  • Family Child Care (Mixed-Age)
Families are an integral part of a successful child care program. Making families feel welcome and connected is one of many ways to develop positive working relationships. The simple act of planning after-hours family programs can provide an opportunity to bridge the relationship gaps between caregivers and families, strengthen family partnerships, assist children in adjusting to child care, and promote a positive self-concept in children. This training will cover the previous mentioned topics and support this with research-based issues as well as provide several fresh ideas for involving families.  
Learning Outcomes:
  • Identify five considerations to make when planning a family program or event
  • Identify one common pitfall when planning family events 
  • Explain how common pitfalls may be avoided
  • Analyze a hypothetical situation 
  • State two factors to consider when staffing an after-hours event
  • Discuss the benefits of family events or programs
  • Apply the concepts covered in the training in their programs
  • Discuss the importance of careful planning
