FAMILY VOICE LISTENING SESSIONS

1/3/2022

 
Picture
Entering preschool or kindergarten is a big milestone for children and their families. We know that when
children arrive in a new setting feeling welcomed and excited, they are more likely to find success.
Effective transitions are a product of thoughtful collaboration among early learning programs, schools,
communities, families, and children.

​Family voice is critical to strengthening early learning transitions. Hearing from families about their own
experiences allows us to learn what’s working and discover what’s missing to support effective
transitions for all children – particularly those furthest from educational justice.

We are seeking families across from Washington to participate in listening sessions by sharing their
stories with us.

The following prompts will guide our conversation:
1. What are your hopes and dreams for your child as they enter preschool or kindergarten?
2. What are your fears and challenges?
3. What does success look like for your child?

What to Expect
  • Listening sessions are scheduled in small groups by video conference and will last about 90 minutes. We are offering participants a gift card to honor families’ time and expertise.
  • Simultaneous interpretation is available upon request.
  • Individual responses verbal and written will remain anonymous. We will offer the notes back to
  • participants for review before we use them in any context.
  • The results of this conversation, combined with the voices of families across the state, will help inform how to best support positive early learning transitions in Washington.
Please register by clicking on the flyer for only 1 of the sessions. Maximum 6 per time slot.
