3)    I-2.2—To develop relationships of mutual trust and create partnerships with the families we serve.

a)    Parents leave their children with us while they going to work or school.  How can we expect for families to leave their child with us if we have not gained their trust.  We must work with the parents reinforcement is a key in education.  When they parents are involved in their child’s education I feel that child will do better in school.  The parents must trust that we have their child’s best interest at heart and theirs as well.
