Abstract
The mission of this chapter is to establish intentional purpose in the ways educators connect, communicate, and partner with families. Traditional school/home communication approaches present concerns as they tend to be haphazard, historically focused, and lack holistic composition. Reframing parent involvement to promote purposeful interactions at the child, classroom, and school levels begins with identifying the underlying purpose of each. The extent of school/home partnership and commitment to the involvement opportunities is dependent on the educator to develop a positive rapport and establish mutual respect between children's families and teachers. Relationship forming is more than a haphazard result of interaction. The purpose of a family-teacher partnership is to express commitment to a productive relationship toward common outcomes. Meaningful relationships, when tended properly, are responsive and reciprocal in nature. They are formed around commitment to a common good – concern for the child.

The Instructional Context of Critical Thinking Development in Early Childhood Education: Theoretical and Curriculum Perspectives
The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is defined as a professional organization that aims to provide early childhood education environments with guidelines and competencies for individuals working with children and families. NAEYC also offers accreditation to early childhood programs who apply and meet the established criterion. These programs ensure that teachers engage in professional development opportunities, while creating nurturing environments for children that promote their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development using developmentally appropriate practices. In addition, early childhood environments that are NAEYC accredited create warm and welcoming environments for all families, while encouraging their involvement. The embrace of diversity is also highlighted within these programs and environments. Furthermore, children’s health and safety are a high priority for professionals working with children and their families.
