What: Supporting developmentally appropriate practices, DoDEA home visits develop a collaborative relationship between home and school. Your child's teacher and the classroom paraprofessional will speak with you and your child in a comfortable setting for your child.
Why: Parents and students are often anxious about entering school for the first time. We want to ensure that every child's experience is positive. Home visits expand the teacher’s knowledge of the student’s home life, interests and cultural background(s), which allows for implementation of developmentally appropriate teaching and learning strategies in the classroom. Additionally, home visits afford us the opportunity to establish a home-school relationship that will support both students and their families in a successful transition.
