Partnership is a group of people that works together to accomplish either a work or goal. For Early Childhood the location can takes place in either school or home. It just depends on the communication and dedication the teacher and parent do when trying to help the child. The child plays a huge role too because he/she needs to in a certain location that will help them learn better. It can be at a school or house. One example would be my aunt and uncle, while they don’t get along together they put their differences aside and work together to raising their child. They think on the better future of their child and worry about their personal problems for another day.

Partnership is team work. People working together in order to attain a specific goal. When it comes to partnership in early  childhood situation, this can refer to relationships between parent and child, teacher and child, parent and teacher , child and child, and parent and parent. All these partnerships are to make sure the child is met in all areas of their life. One example of a successful partnership would be my friend and her ex partner. They have two young daughter, they always put their daughters first especially when it comes to education. They communicate well. Attend all meetings with teachers, together. This to me is a good partnership because they are working together for their children's success.

Partnership is when

# data[].attributes.body
A partnership in a childs early years should be when the school staff work together with parents and caretakers to discuss the individual needs of each child. Both parties should be respectful and mindful of these needs and work as a team. They should also feel comfortable to voice their concerns, questions and accomodations.

Partnership is when you is when you work together as a team. In an early childhood setting that team would be the students, teachers, administrators, principal, guidance counselor, parents basically everyone who is involved in the school. Working together to help the child in their developments, such as behavioral, social, motor skills and so on. An example of partnership would be at my current job. Currently i am working with the boys and girls club and my responsibility is making sure that the students are logged into their zoom meetings for their classes and not on other websites being distracted. I am partnering with their teachers in making sure that their students are learning, virtually. It is so easy for a 2nd grader to get distracted from their class especially since they are learning on a device and not in a classroom setting. Being able to support the children in their education.

Partnership is when parents, family members, teachers, and the entire school team work together to implement ways to help the child's academic, emotional, and social development.

An ecological perspective explains that children’s development and learning occur within a series of embedded systems, ranging for proximal(home)not distal(society). Positive and harmonious interactions between early education programs and families promote family engagement and children’s developing.

Working as a Spanish tutor I noticed that the mother of one of my students asked me after each lesson about how her daughter was doing in learning another language, she asked me for strategies to help her daughter at home. I was willing to help the mother by giving her extra hand outs so her daughter could practice more at home. She shared with me her child’s schedules when she arrives home and also shared stories from the family members, from the grandparents and their pets. The outcome was that the child felt welcomed, positive and loved, she learned Spanish very well compared to the whole group of children.

Partnership is important in early childhood because it gives trusts to whoever involved in the relationship. Educators/school and families need to create a partnership in order to make a better quality life for the kids.

Partnerships is when one or more people or companies band together to work as a team. Partnership in a school setting should look like one who is helping one another to better themselves. For instance, teachers are in partnerships with students. Teachers will accommodate to children's learning needs to better their academics by understand their needs and what is needed to help them elevate. One successful early childhood education partnership that I observed was teachers and parents coming together to help diagnose a child who had a learning disability.

A partnership to me means a team. Someone you can depend on come to an agreement with for a common goal. In early childhood education settings partnership should look like teachers, principals, parents working together, involve in the child’s cognitive and behavioral development. It should look like parents and teachers sharing information on what the child is learning, their worries and the child strengths and ways they each can work together for the child to develop those skills needed. A successful early childhood partnership I have observe would be when my daughter was a toddler. Her teacher and I built a relationship, and I knew that she had the best interest for her. I was able to share with her what we were teaching my daughter at home and she worked with us on our goals. She was able to call me and let me know if my daughter was having a bad and explain the steps, she took to calm her. Hence when she did well in class she celebrated her all day and even told me before I picked her up from school so I too can celebrate or get her favorite snacks.

Partnership is when two or more parties can discuss and come to an agreement or solution in regards to a specific event, plan, issue/problem, and/or "fill in the blank." Partnership in education means that all parties come up with the best solution that best suits them AND the students.

Partnership in early childhood education should look fair. It should look like teachers, assistants, parents and guardians having a say or being allowed to bring forth suggestions, concerns, questions to better the school or to better operate it for the sake of the children.

The preschool where I work at, I see at lot of partnership. Communication is really high between the teachers and teacher assistants. There is respect for one another... when accountability needs to be taken, it is taken.

Partnership in Early Childhood Education is the effort of bringing together the school staff members and the parents. In order to decide  or plan any type of adjustment for the students in order to get their high level of performance . when is a process that needs the agreements of both parties. An example can be When a child need services in school they can not proceed without the parent consent. therefore if the parent do not sign even knowing the child needs extra help, there is nothing that the teacher can do.

Partnership should look like in an early childhood setting is being able to work with families. co-workers, and even children to help create a positive relationship.

Partnership is important in early childhood education because partership allows the families and the teachers to come together and help to support the child. The extra support helps the child achieve their goals and allows them to receive help from those around them. It is important to have a positive relationship between the child and the environment they are in to make sure they are comfortable and have support to help them succeed.

A partnership should be positive when it comes to social, behavioral, academics and all those involved.  It is respectful with two way information and communication, equal work provided from all parties involved and collaborative.

A partnership is when the parent and teacher work together for the best of the child education. A partnership in early childhood education setting should be the teacher listening to the parents and vise versa for suggestions, working together to figure out the Childs interest, strengths and goals. The teacher should try to involves the parent in more activities, field trips and to participate in program decision making. An example I had was with my son in family daycare, they would have holiday parties and ask for our help. An example was for Halloween we had to help our kids at home make spiders so they can hand them as decorations, and bring in snacks an juices for the kids to take treats home.

~The partnership means parents and school working together. It is a parent’s engagement in a child’s education and parents’ involvement in a child’s activities for academic success. In childhood settings,  partnership is supporting teachers with anything that they might need help with because parents have the power to make an impact in the child’s education. When my son was in Preschool, I used to make homemade playdough for the class. Sometimes, during  special days, the teacher may need help planning class parties, so parents can bring food and drinks. Teachers will need parent chaperons during the class field trips. There are many ways parents can help during the school year because teachers alone cannot educate children.

A partnership is "an arrangement between two or more people to oversee business operations and share its profits and liabilities. In general partnership company, all members share both profits and liabilities." In Early Childhood partnership should be teachers and parents working together for the well being and also  to encourage the children social, emotional and cognitive development at school and at home so that the children could be  in their highest capacity at school. My mom, when my little brother was in elementary school, she used to constantly talk to the teacher about my brother's work at school. And my mom even gives the teacher her phone number so that if my brother is not excelling as he should be , to talk to my mom and come up with ideas that will help my brother with his school work.
