Parents Info
Role of Parents/Guardians
We at saints and scholars recognise the parents as a child’s primary educators , from the time they are born .We as early years educators and managers enhance the child’s experiences and provide learning opportunities suitable to a child’s age and ability so that a child is constantly learning while having fun, and socialising in a safe , stimulating and secure environment .
When a child is ready to progress to primary school parents play an important role in the transition process and should be seen as collaborators, with respectful dialogue being all important. In pursuit of this aim a Parent-Preschool team meeting is organised for every child moving to Primary School. During this meeting parents are informed of their child’s strengths, talents, relationships with others, skills and then any areas for development are outlined. Parents are encouraged to share the information they have received with the new teacher, particularly if the child needs any special
support or has a specific need or circumstance. The meeting with the parent focuses on the Mo Scéal templates.
Working in Partnership with Primary Schools
During the month of February, a letter is sent to the Principals of the Primary Schools which will be
attended by our children. This invites them or a Junior Infant teacher to visit the crèche to meet the children in their
current setting. A date in late May is then arranged for the visit. Many of the Primary schools also arrange
for the children to spend a little time at the Primary school around this time, and this is supported by the
Educator by discussion, role play, preparing art/ work they might like to share with the new primary school teacher etc.
