We all agree that family engagement is essential to a whole-child approach, right? But when parent involvement turns into constant feedback and disruptive communication, it can overwhelm staff and derail the day.

A recent Famly survey showed:

  • 37% of educators feel parents can be overbearing
  • Yet 89% of childcare directors want more family engagement

So how do you strike the right balance? Join experts from WatchMeGrow and Famly in this practical webinar designed for childcare directors and admin teams.

You’ll learn:

  • How to build trust without overextending your team
  • Smart ways to give parents visibility without getting interrupted
  • How to use common questions as ways to improve long-term communication
  • How Famly and WatchMeGrow can support both providers and families alike (Bonus: did you know they integrate?)
  • Walk away from this one-hour virtual event with tools to keep families informed and your team focused.
