The personal and professional significance of the Head Start stories prove to me that parents love their children and want them to get the best possible start in their early lives. We as educators and advocates must work at making sure these families needs are being met.
Parents must be involved to met the holistic approach of serving every child's needs. Parents set the foundation for educators and advocates to be able to assist with the child's developmental needs. Families also need to understand how to access resources to better serve the family and the child.
It is very important for policy makers, government official, childhood professionals and the public understand what families and children need to be able to contribute to society. The children of today are the future. Children need to have a great start to become productive citizens to add to society. Families sharing their stories and concerns can make public official know that funding for these programs such as Head Start is a must in educating our early learners at an early age.
I believe that without the parents participation in the child's education, educators will be less able to provide and maintain the child's needs. The parent's involvement provides the child with a cohesive bond of getting all of the child's developmental needs to be met. This involvement includes allowing the parent to understand all of the essential system elements for all strands of service in the early childhood field.
