Assignment Task: Read the progressive scenarios about Harry and taking on the role of educator, answer the related question
Happy Family
Next week when I go back to work full-time I know I am going to be sad because I will miss my little boy, but I will also be happy knowing that he is happy and safe with people who care about him and care about me as his mother. Dana said I can ring her just to see how Harry is going and to reassure myself that he is OK. Dana is so caring, she makes me feel so special and she really respects me as a parent. The orientation process has been great for Harry and me. Some of my friends felt that being expected to have a 4-week orientation was too much, but I'm so glad we did. Harry is happy, I am happy and my partner is happy. The orientation process also allowed him to get to know the educators. We are looking forward to the family fun nights and getting to know some of the other parents. The service is now very much a part of our lives.
Question: Suggest two ways the extended orientation process has supported the development of the educator-parent partnership?
