Here are some ways that you can communicate with the parents of students:
- Sending notes home
- Have a classroom only Twitter account and encourage parents to join
- Send out regular e-newsletters
- Use an app like ClassDojo to keep communication fun between teachers and parents
- Meet the parents at the door during pickup and drop off every day

"I have come to find that clear communication between myself and the parents is non-negotiable. I meet communication expectations by asking all of my students' parents to join the app, ClassDojo, as well as our private Twitter account. I send out daily updates on each platform as well as a monthly e-newsletter, which offers a more comprehensive overview of the happenings in our classroom, and what's to come."

Of course, as a preschool teacher, you know that clear communication between school and home is imperative. Talk to the interviewer about the ways that you ensure clear communication at all times. This answer can be to the point, but be sure to reinforce the fact that you have excellent written and verbal communication skills. If you have a real-life example, that's great too!

"Communication is incredibly important, and I make extra efforts to ensure that the parents of my students are aware of the day-to-day activities in our classroom. When communication is clear, expectations are clear as well, and this leaves less opportunity for crossed wires."
