Melissa Be highlights that in the Netherlands, and many other countries, there is increasing attention regarding the cooperation between (pre-) school and parents, since it influences school performance, work attitude, social-emotional functioning and the well-being of a child.
Based on the interviews with parents conducted in the scope of ISOTIS, Melissa Be presents recommendations for promoting cooperation between (pre-) school and parents, namely:
- Investing in one-to-one contact with the parents.
- Showing interest and taking initiative in communication with the parent.
- Sharing positive experiences and expressing positive expectations about the child (and the parent).
- Creating a meeting place within the school in which parents can come into contact with each other.
