ChildCare Education Institute Launches PROF111: Establishing Family Partnerships through Communication and Engagement
July 02 2024 - 8:26AM
ChildCare Education Institute® (CCEI), one of the largest online
training providers dedicated exclusively to the early care and
education workforce, is pleased to introduce its newest course,
PROF111: Establishing Family Partnerships through
Communication and Engagement.
Good communication between families and teachers helps a child
learn and focus more effectively in the classroom. In
addition, good communication allows families to reinforce the
skills and concepts taught at school when they are at
home. Strong communication is built on a foundation of
respect and a common purpose. Respect is built upon honoring the
significant adults in a child′s life. Those adults could be the
child′s biological parents, adoptive parents, grandparents, or
other guardians.
Some families consist of a single parent, and some families have
more than two parents involved in raising the child. Each family′s
unique dynamic will determine how best to communicate with them,
but respect must be at the core of that communication. In our
interactions with families, we should create a positive and
trusting environment by being respectful and honest. It includes
maintaining confidentiality, building bonds, and responding to the
needs and concerns of families with empathy and understanding.
In this course, participants will examine the benefits of strong
partnerships between families and teachers. The course contains
information related to effective communication skills, including
active listening and approaching challenging conversations. The
course will also explore elements of family engagement that
participants can integrate into their practice.
“We communicate by listening, speaking, and using non-verbal
communication, such as body language and gestures,” says Dr.
Chrystine Mitchell, Director, Early Childhood Education Operations.
“Using these positive and open communication methods, we can
get to know families and build partnerships
with them.”
Since its founding in 2005, CCEI has launched more than 500
online childcare training courses to meet state licensure and Head
Start requirements, as well as online certificate programs for

Communication and Engagement is a two-hour, beginner-level
course and grants 0.2 IACET CEU upon successful completion.
