Identifying and embracing a variety of family structures and dynamics will foster a culture that is safe and comfortable for learners and families. Recognizing the distinct roles within a family structure is critical for educators as they establish a cultural climate in the birth to pre-K child care center. Allocate at least 2 hours in the field to support this field experience. Interview both a grandparent/other involved adult in the family (aunt, uncle, etc.) and a parent, guardian, or primary caregiver who has children/grandchildren/nieces/nephews in a birth to pre-K child care setting. During your interview, identify the role your interviewees play in the child’s education. Use the following questions for your interviews: Grandparents/Other adult family member that is involved with the student: Draft at least two additional questions to include in your interview. Parents/Guardians/Primary caregiver: Draft at least two additional questions to include in your interview. After the interviews, write a 500-750 word reflection. Information from your interviews should be woven into your reflection to support the reasons families should be involved in the learning opportunities of young children. Include the following in your reflection: Support your reflection with 2-3 scholarly resources.
