摘要

幼儿期是技能形成和神经发育的关键时期，家长对孩子学校的参与至关重要。然而，幼儿教育项目对家长的影响却鲜有研究。本研究评估了 Chics 计划（包括教师培训、改进课程和支持会议）对南非低收入托儿所家长参与的影响，重点关注家长的幸福感、团结、知识和能动性。对 126 名家长进行的焦点小组讨论和调查显示，该计划在家长的团结、生活满意度和能动性方面产生了积极的变化，并鼓励开展社区项目。这些结果可以为其他计划提供建议，从而以具有成本效益的方式提高日托中心的家长参与度。

Raising the future together: Assessing the impact of the Chics program on primary caregivers in low-income daycares

Parental involvement in a child's school is crucial during early childhood, a critical period for skill-forming and neurodevelopment. However, the impact of early childhood programs on parents is understudied. This study evaluates the Chics program – which includes teacher training, an improved curriculum, and support meetings – on parental involvement in low-income daycares in South Africa, focusing on parents’ wellbeing, unity, knowledge, and agency. Focus groups and surveys with 126 parents showed the program had positive changes in parental unity, life satisfaction, and agency, encouraging community projects. The results could advice other programs to cost-effectively increase parental involvement in daycare centres.
