s,At Celebree School of Owings Mills, we believe that kids do best when parents and teachers work together. A short check-in at drop-off, asking about their day at dinner, or a smile shared between you and their teacher can make all the difference to your kiddo. If you’ve ever witnessed your child’s confidence rise when home and school are connected, then you’ve already experienced how powerful teamwork can be!
These daily interactions make kids feel safe, supported, and sure of themselves as they continue to learn and grow. Kids are more likely to try new things, take on new challenges, and create a strong foundation for success when their loved ones stay connected and engaged.
Here’s how working with your child’s school can help them become more confident, curious, and excited to learn for the rest of their lives.
Confidence Comes from Connection
Kids who feel supported at home and at school build a strong feeling of trust and confidence, a connection that is supported by early childhood development research.
Ultimately, they’re more willing to try new things, speak up in class, and face learning problems head-on. The grown-ups around them who always tell them “they can do it,” have a big impact on how much a child believes in themselves.

Your Daily Support Makes a Difference
Reading together, asking questions, and going to their school/class events are more than just something to do; they are affirmations for your child.
Supporting and engaging in times like these reminds your child that learning is essential and that you care about their growth. That support will be what becomes the base as they build on their learning journey and get older.
Simple Moments, Big Impact
Every little win your youngster has, like sharing toys, learning new words, or eating a new snack, is a meaningful step forward. Taking time to notice and celebrate these moments builds pride, motivation, and a growing love of learning.
You don’t need anything special or extra to make a difference. Simple, everyday activities such as…
- Spotting shapes and colors while driving
- Counting socks while folding laundry
- Singing their favorite classroom songs
can have a big influence on learning. These everyday simple moments help kids learn and make the link between home and school feel normal and joyful.
Creating Safety and Belonging
At Celebree School of Owings Mills, our number one priority is to create an environment where kids feel safe, nurtured, and appreciated. While this begins in the classroom, it’s strengthened through partnering with our families.
However, partnering doesn’t mean doing more — it means staying connected in small, meaningful ways, such as:
- Asking your child about their day or what they’re learning
-
Communicating regularly with your child’s teachers
-
Reading together at home
- Be a member of our SFC (School Family Committee)
-
Supporting consistent routines between home and school
-
Sharing insights with our school leadership and your teachers about your child’s interests or needs
When routines are consistent and communication between home and school is encouraged, children develop a strong sense of belonging and emotional security.
Let’s Grow Together
It is a privilege for us to walk this path with you. No matter if you are part of our school family or not, your participation helps provide a strong base for your child’s emotional and academic growth.
Here at Celebree, one thing we know for sure is that we are nurturing learners who are curious, confident, and loved every step of the way!
