We make sure at EEY each parent knows what their child is up to in the class. Parents come in on Observation Day and see for themselves the progress of their children. Don’t you think if parents knew what their child is learning, they would understand more about their passions and try to create a similar environment at home? Doing this not only helps the child achieve higher academic success also helps them in socio-emotional development. 

Higher Academic Achievement
When parents are aware of their child’s learning objectives and classroom activities, they can provide targeted resources and support at home. For example, if a teacher emphasizes literacy skills in class and parents know about this, they can encourage reading by providing books that match their child's interests. This alignment between home and school not only reinforces learning but also helps children grasp concepts more effectively. 

Pursuing Passions
When parents understand what their children are learning and what excites them, they can help nurture those interests. For instance, if a child shows a keen interest in building blocks and solving puzzels during observation day, parents can encourage that passion by providing related books, kits, or opportunities to explore this at home. This encouragement fosters a growth mindset, allowing children to explore their interests further. When young learners feel supported in their pursuits, they are more likely to develop confidence and motivation, ultimately leading them to excel in areas they are passionate about.

Socioemotional Development
Parental involvement is crucial for a child's socioemotional growth. When parents are engaged and aware of their child's school experiences, they can reinforce consistent values and expectations between home and school. For example, if a teacher emphasizes teamwork and respect during group activities, parents can mirror those lessons at home by encouraging similar behaviors during family activities. This consistency in discipline and support fosters a secure environment for children to express their emotions and navigate social situations.
