Explaining that birth is the right time to begin fostering children's learning and development, Parent Involvement Begins at Birth is intended for the early childhood caregiver and administrator. The book presents a three-part strategy to form a parent involvement program that will provide a population of students ready to learn and achieve as soon as they begin school. Parts I and II teach schools how to reach parents as soon as their children are born so that they can enlist them as facilitators of their children's development. Written from the perspective of the whole child, Part III describes the education of the children from birth to age five. Finally, Part IV provides activities, clear objectives, and procedures for parents to interact with their children to enrich the child's development.
