Activities that children participate and love at daycare can be shared with parents. There are so many things that happen at your daycare so don't be afraid to tell parents about all the activities and fun that is going on. Your parents will appreciate every bit of information that you tell them so don't hold back they will love it.

Tip #1 Make your newsletter appealing. Use fonts, pictures, and make sure you spell correctly. You want parents to be exited about picking it up.

Tip#2 Always use the same color of pager, the same font. You don't want parents getting confused as to what's going on.

Tip#3 Talk about your parents and children, mention little things about them with their permission. Have lots of pictures of the parents and children who attend your daycare.

Tip#4 Talk about what is going on in your classroom and how parents can reinforce that behavior.

Tip#5 List resources that would be helpful to parents. Websites, magazines, books, that would help parents with raising their children.

Tip#6 Find out what kind of information your parents are looking for in your newsletter. Don't feel shy- ask your parents what kind of information they are looking for, maybe they need help with potty training their toddler, or are frustrated by todder behavior. There is truly so much information that you could include in your newsletter that would help parents in "parenting".

Your parents will love having a newsletter that will communicate all the activities and fun that occurs at your daycare center. Make sure it's fun and inviting, and the rest will fall in place.
