S-FI-03: Family Communication

This measure ensures that the early learning program has documented communication with parents and families about their child’s experiences while in care. The facility should be able to provide evidence that they are working together with the parents about decisions regarding their child’s experience, which may include written reports for children and a parent communication log. Examples of documented communication can consist of mobile apps that allow programs to communicate with parents regarding their child(ren) and an email system between the program and its families.
