Every day, a kindergarten teacher, interacting with children and their parents, receives information about the characteristics of the psychophysiological development of children, the nuances of education, and some family problems. A parent meeting is a tool that will help expand contact between teachers and parents, involve parents in the life of the group and kindergarten, help the family in proper upbringing, and improve the pedagogical culture of parents.
The minutes of a parent meeting in a kindergarten are a special document recording the progress of the meeting, as well as the issues that were raised and the decisions that were made.
Thus, a parent meeting at a preschool educational institution is an opportunity to build a dialogue between parent and teacher, identify questions and problems, and find solutions to them. And the protocols will record these issues and decisions.
Protocols of parent meetings in kindergarten
How to hold a meeting in kindergarten
Parent meetings are held throughout the kindergarten and only in a separate group. In addition, depending on the issues raised at the meeting, the following can be distinguished:
- current;
- thematic;
- organizational;
- final.
Any type of meeting will require the organizers to prepare, search for approaches to parents, because it is necessary not only to share some information with them, but also to reach them, to try to “mobilize” them for some specific actions, for example, in analyzing behavior or raising a child. Sometimes it is even difficult to ensure the attendance of parents.
The presence of parents is mandatory when considering the following issues:
- reporting information about the educational process and results;
- innovations in the field of preschool education;
- conflict resolution;
- if cooperation with parents is mandatory, then making decisions on all functional changes in the work of the preschool educational institution.
At the end of the meeting, the minutes of the parent meeting in the kindergarten are drawn up and signed.
