Part B: Parent Meeting Self-Evaluation
Score: 4.5/5
I believe was effective in putting together a successful workshop in teaching the parents
of Sunny Side Daycare about the chosen topic. I’m thrilled with the turn out and the interest in
the event from all the parents, we had a total of 19 different families arrive at the workshop.
More families were interested, but conflicting schedules were the issues, thus for future I would
like to schedule more dates for the same topic workshops to hope more families get the
opportunity to experience the event. As the presenter, I do feel confident in front of the families I
care for as I have created a warm trusting relationship with each of them, so I feel comfortable
with them all, but I still struggle with stage freight and expressing the thoughts in my head
correctly. Next time, I wish to have supply myself with more note cards to have a backup to help
with maintaining my thoughts during the presentation. A challenge that was faced was securing a
time that made the most sense for the families. As we care for families that often work nine-to-
five, we had to make the workshop after hours. Which became difficult as a staff was needed to
occupy the children brought with the parents, but also the workshop couldn’t extend too late as
children needed to go home for their nighttime routine. Therefore, perhaps find an online option
to the meeting would be effective to allow parents to stay home and maintain their current
schedule.

Hello Families,
On Thursday July 27th, 2023, we will be hosting a parent workshop on the topic of
redirecting challenging behaviours. This workshop will take place starting at 6:00pm in the
kindergarten classroom. Challenging behaviours is very common amongst young children. Our
goal is to help provide strategies in improving the child’s experiences, both in and out of the
classroom. Straying away from using the word “no” and providing the children with clear
expectations of what they can do alternatively. Through the delivery of a presentation and open
conversations, parents will be given the opportunity to exchange ideas and leave the workshop
please reply ‘yes’ to this email and confirming how many adults with attend. Also, indicate if
