Parents and families play a key role in their children's learning. Their involvement has long been a strength of early years education, with practitioners working to establish effective partnerships.
This pack contains materials to ensure that schools understand the importance of continuing this partnership beyond the Foundation Stage and build on the good practice already established and exemplified in previously published material.
The pack also contains a video which illustrates learning and teaching in an early years setting and a range of schools, with the aim of informing parents about current practice. The main focus is on the development of literacy and mathematics teaching, but within a rich and broad curriculum.
