Síolta and Aistear highlight the important role families play in the lives of babies, toddlers, young children and school age children.

Partnerships with families are key to supporting each child’s learning and development. Building and maintaining trusting relationships with families is a responsibility shared by all early years educators. It is an ongoing process that takes time and commitment.

This resource from the Aistear Síolta Practice Guide, developed by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA), highlights how communication, trust and shared understanding support meaningful collaboration between educators and families.

These everyday interactions play an important role in supporting inclusion across settings.
