Involvement of fathers in the childcare setting DQ 5
Read the article Fathers’ role in children’s academic achievement
and early literacy. Develop a learning activity that supports the
involvement of fathers in the childcare setting. The activity can
take place before, during, or after normal childcare hours. Identify
how fathers will be encouraged to attend, and discuss the role of
the father in supporting the child’s academic achievements.
Consider activities that would interest fathers, review the four
barriers to getting men involved in preschool programs (GonzalesMena, 2014, p. 73-75), and review research supporting the
involvement of fathers in supporting a child’s academic
achievement (article by Gadsden & Ray). In the father’s absence,
encourage the involvement of another significant family member
(grandparent, uncle, and so forth)
