Parent Interface
“UNITED FOR LITTLE LEARNERS: PARENTS AND TEACHERS, EMPOWERING EARLY EDUCATION HAND IN HAND!”
“The bridge between home and school is built by the shared commitment of parents and teachers, fostering a solid foundation for a child’s growth.”
Parent-teacher collaboration in the early years of a child’s education is of paramount importance. This partnership between parents and educators lays a strong foundation for a child’s development and academic success. Since the early years of a child’s life are a critical period of growth and development during this time, the collaborative efforts of parents and teachers play a pivotal role in shaping a child’s future. This partnership creates a supportive environment that fosters learning, emotional well-being, and social development. In an endeavor to bridge the gap between classroom teaching and the parents and to make them equal partners in their child’s learning, Salwan Montessori School has taken the initiative, PARENT ACADEMIES where in the parents will time to time be exposed to different modules and strategies which are crucial to their child’s development. After the success of the first Parent Academy session the second session was conducted on 16th December 2023. Two modules were planned in this session namely 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐃𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐌𝐬. 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐮 𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐚.
