A Letter to Parents

As an ECEC provider, you will develop a new parent welcome letter for a specific age group (0-6, 7-12, 13-18, or 19-24 months). After reading the article Promoting Children’s Social and Emotional Development through Preschool Education (Links to an external site.) (http://nieer.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/report7.pdf), create a letter that explains your beliefs about social and emotional development and how you will provide guidance to these infants and toddlers. Your letter should include: 

The target age group (choose one age group 0-6, 7-12, 13-18, or 19-24 months).

Your daily procedures, including a daily schedule that showcases activities designed to provide infants and toddlers opportunities to acquire developmentally appropriate social and emotional skills.

The perceived benefits of your program on the child’s social, emotional, and academic development.

The long term benefits of high quality ECEC.

The safety features of your center.

The child: infant/toddler ratio.
