What is the purpose of monthly parent/legal guardian contacts?

Connecting with parents or legal guardians on a monthly basis serves the purpose of establishing and maintaining a positive and collaborative relationship between caregivers and educators. This allows for open communication, sharing of information, and building trust. It also provides an opportunity to address any concerns, provide updates on the child's progress, and discuss potential changes or adjustments to the child's learning plan. The other options may be important aspects of working with parents and legal guardians, but they do not fully capture the overall purpose of regular communication and collaboration between families and educators.
