Meaningful family engagement is an essential component of supporting children’s social-emotional development. This session invites early childhood educators to explore what authentic, collaborative family partnership looks like across all three levels of the Pyramid Model: promotion, prevention, and intervention. Participants will consider how to build trusting relationships with families from the very beginning, including during intake and enrollment; how to partner with families to promote and strengthen children’s social-emotional skills at home; and how to collaborate with families when children engage in behaviors that challenge. Through reflection and practical strategies, participants will explore ways to create responsive, respectful partnerships that honor family strengths, support children’s development, and promote positive outcomes across home and early learning environments.
