Families are essential partners in early learning. When engagement is consistent and communication is simple, learning continues at home, even when time is limited. The most effective tools are those that make connections practical for educators and accessible to every caregiver.
Family engagement is strongest when tools are embedded into the routine, not introduced as an extra. Across all programs, Frog Street includes:
Multi-lingual take-home activities designed for busy families with simple materials and clear instructions
Weekly family letters that explain current classroom learning and suggest easy extension activities
Vocabulary words for home use that reinforce classroom language development in any setting
Learning extension ideas using common materials that don’t require special purchases or preparation
Emotional vocabulary and Conscious Discipline® SED tips that create consistency in behavior support approaches
Consistent links between what children learn and what families receive so conversations about school are meaningful
The structure of each family-facing tool reflects the realities of family life — short attention spans, multiple languages, limited time, and diverse levels of comfort with school engagement.
Engagement That Builds Belonging and Readiness
When communication works, families are more likely to contribute to learning outcomes. Engagement increases school trust, supports behavior expectations, and reinforces language and literacy.
Programs implementing Frog Street’s family engagement components report stronger parent participation, improved home learning environments, and greater family advocacy for children’s educational needs.
