Thank You to all our FS parents for Getting Involved in
Parents As Partners Week (19th -23rd May 2014)
Every child’s learning journey begins at home and parents are
children’s first and enduring educators.
Our educational philosophy is based upon the premise that
every parent is a part of our team and that an effectiveHome-School Partnership is integral to a child’s journey of
excellence in learning and development. It is with this
strong belief that we have once again opened the doors of
our Foundation Stage settings to welcome parents as partnersofour students’ learning experiences at PPS.
We are exrtremely thankful forthe overwhelming response
during our Parents As Partners (PAP) Week in our Foundation Stage settings from 19th – 23rdMay 2014. It was encouraging to note that 70% of our parents signed in for the
sessions and witnessed how effective learning happens in our
settings.
From the daily morning routine of free flow to the students
working objectively on a variety of skill-based
activities,parents could see the children purposefully engaged with self- regulating, independent hands-on learning.
The feedback comments by the parents were highly encouraging, validating that the excellent practices in our settings
provided opportunities for excellence in learning. It gives us
renewed confidence in accelerating our strategies to keep
stretching the boundaries of children’s understanding, and
building children’s self-esteem and dispositions to learn.
