The article features Ms. Shanna-Mae Therese de Cruz, Lead Lecturer at NIEC (ITE), who outlines three key strategies that preschools can employ to assess the effectiveness of their partnerships with parents and community partners in supporting the holistic development of young children. Ms de Cruz shares that by implementing these evaluation strategies, children can benefit from quality care and education that maintains a consistent approach to learning both at home and in school.

Ms. de Cruz discusses further advantages of these partnerships as well, including a shared responsibility for the well-being and development of young children, stronger relationships built on respect and trust, and meaningful feedback mechanisms that promote ongoing staff development and enhance programmes and partnership initiatives.
