3) Reporting the child's progress to parents:

- Parent-teacher conferences: Teachers can schedule regular conferences with parents to discuss the child's portfolio, share observations and assessments, and collaborate on goals and strategies for the child's continued growth and development.
- Progress reports: Teachers can provide written progress reports at regular intervals, summarizing the child's development in various areas and providing suggestions for further support and enrichment at home.
