The beginning of a new school year likely means a new teacher for your precious preschooler. This can be exciting and stressful at the same time. Part of a good parent-teacher relationship is getting to know each other a little bit.
Attend Events
The best way to get to know your preschooler’s teacher is to attend the meet the teacher event prior to the start of school. This helps both your and your preschooler get more comfortable with a new teacher. To make this meeting more productive, try to prepare a list of questions your family and preschooler has for the teacher. These questions should be focused on the classroom environment and may include topics, such as:
- What is your behavior management plan?
- How can I support you at home?
- What skills does my preschooler need to master by the end of the year?
- How do you assess student progress?
Your child’s preschool is likely to host other events throughout the year. These are another great way to get to know the teacher better. Life gets busy, but you will not regret attending events at your child’s school and your presence will surely make your preschooler feel special and offer you further opportunities to get to know your preschooler’s teacher!
Questionnaire
One avenue of getting to know your preschooler’s teacher on a more personal level is to ask her to fill out a questionnaire listing her favorite things. This list will help you know what to treat your child’s teacher with on special days or just because you appreciate them on any given day. A few suggestions for the questionnaire include: favorite candy, favorite snack, favorite coffee drink or other drink, favorite scents, and whether or not she collects anything.
Get Involved
Volunteer to help in your preschooler’s classroom. This may include chaperoning field trips, planning and helping with class parties, reading a book aloud to the class once a month, or helping do small tasks, such as organize the class library or prepare crafts for the coming weeks. This will help take some of the load off your child’s teacher and give you some time to spend with her to get to know her better.
Getting to know your preschooler’s teacher will definitely make you, your preschooler, and the teacher feel more at ease this school year. Take a bit of time and effort to build a healthy, cooperative relationship for a successful school year!
