Parents and Families

While most of your time is spent with the children, working with their families is part and parcel of being a child care professional.

And, building a positive and trusting relationship is especially important when it comes to immigrant and refugee families. In fact, you may be one of their few connections in Canada. They will look to you for reassurance and advice, as well as for practical resources.
