Have you ever sent home a note to a parent requesting extra clothing or supplies for her child's cubby? The next day, when the child arrives without the supplies you requested, you were probably thinking: Did the parent read my note or did she simply forget? Sending a note home can sometimes be an ineffective way to communicate with parents. Here are 10 proven ways to communicate with parents in your center -- they're sure to work every time! Parent Bulletin Board Having a parent bulletin board is a great communication tool if it is maintained well and updated frequently. Useful information to post on your parent bulletin board should include a calendar of important events along with detailed information about these events, the weekly menu, parent newsletters and information on parent resources. A great way to draw attention to the bulletin board is to change the theme each month and be sure that your bulletin board is near the entrance of the building. Notes on the Child Return address labels are a unique way to communicate short messages to parents. For example, if a child needs diapers ASAP simply write: “I need diapers” on a return address label and stick it on the child. Labels can also be used as a brief reminder for center events such as picture day, parties and other important days. Posting Signs on the Parent Entrance When parents enter your building one of the first things that they see is the door, so why not use it as a communication tool? This is also a great place to post key information such as scheduled closings, upcoming events, party information, field trip information, policy reminders and much more.
