Abstract
A vast resource of educational experiences waits within your school's immediate community. Teachers should be more eager to involve themselves and their school in community relations, which can increase their effectiveness and also act as good publicity for the school itself.
The community needs to know what good education for its young children is, and how it can be a part of it. It can recognize preschools as performing a vital community service and be willing to come together to exchange experiences. Children are not only our future, but they are part of our community's present.
