Family Engagement as a Tool for Recruitment and Retention
Join Sarah Koffler and Kathy Pomer, co-founders of GatherRound Consulting and experienced early childhood educators, as they discuss why family engagement is crucial to the success of early childhood communities. This webinar will be an informal, interactive opportunity to talk about what engagement in a school environment can look like. Sarah and Kathy will unpack the role of the educator and family in an engagement relationship and demonstrate how a fully engaged community can lead to stronger programs and a stronger field overall.
