a letter to parents
250-500 words
As an ECEC provider, you will develop a new parent welcome letter for a specific age group (0-6, 7-12, 13-18, or 19-24 months). After reading the article Promoting Children’s Social and Emotional Development through Preschool Education (Links to an external site.) (http://nieer.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/report7.pdf), create a letter that explains your beliefs about social and emotional development and how you will provide guidance to these infants and toddlers. Your letter should include:
- The target age group (choose one age group 0-6, 7-12, 13-18, or 19-24 months).
- Your daily procedures, including a daily schedule that showcases activities designed to provide infants and toddlers opportunities to acquire developmentally appropriate social and emotional skills.
- The perceived benefits of your program on the child’s social, emotional, and academic development.
- The long term benefits of high quality ECEC.
- The safety features of your center.
- The child: infant/toddler ratio.
