Family, School, and Community Partnerships: Nurturing and Empowering All Young Children focuses on the interwoven relationship of family, school, and community in the life of a child, from birth to age eight. Students are encouraged to develop culturally responsive mindsets as they practice active listening, give mindful responses, maintain composure, and develop empathy—important skills that allow early childhood educators to be successful in creating strong and positive relationships with parents/guardians and the community in the best interest of the child.
