Hi, I would love some ideas on how to get parents involved with what we do at playschool. I have only been in charge since September. I have planned a parents morning to share info and have invited parents to come to a harvest service with us but I would appreciate some ideas on how to get them to contribute to what we plan for i.e. what are their children doing at home, what are they interested in at home etc? Does anybody do a learning journal? Thank you x <_<
