What relationship is more important in regards to early childhood education? Parent/teacher or teacher/child?

I'm doing a paper on this topic in one of my ECE classes. I know what I feel is the most important but I would like your opinions too. What relationship do you think is most important in early childhood education and why? The parent/teacher relationship or the teacher/child relationship?What relationship is more important in regards to early childhood education? Parent/teacher or teacher/child?
The teacher/child relationship is more important. The child has little power in this relationship, so it needs to be solid. A preschooler in an unhappy situation regarding his/her teacher doesn't have the language or maturity to recognise and explain what's going on.





If the parent/teacher relationship breaks down, the adults can negotiate and rectify it. The adults can request a change of class placement but the child cannot do this, he/she is just stuck in an unworkable situation.What relationship is more important in regards to early childhood education?

I'm training to be an Early Years teacher so it's only my opinion, but I think the relationship between teacher/ child is much more important. Of course, you have to keep parents involved with their child's education and development but as a teacher of young children, you have to get to know them on, dare I say it, quite a personal level. You need to be aware of their likes and their dislikes, you have to observe them and know what they like doing and what they engage in and adjust your style of teaching to fit in with their style of learning, otherwise it's meaningless to them. I feel we need to involve parents and update them as much as possible as they want the best for their child and we definitely need to build up a GOOD relationship, but at the end of the day, it is purely professional. You wouldn't say things like, ';Oh, I absolutely adore your daughter, I just want to take her home with me!'; Or something similar, which isn't meant to be taken seriously and should be sweet and a bit of fun because we're professionals. However, the relationship between teacher and child is close and genuine and one of trust and honesty with the child.
personally, I feel that the teacher/child relationship is more important. I work in a child care facility where the children are dropped off by sitters, aunts, even grandparents. Since my shift ends before pick up time, I rarely see a parent.
both r important.but we have proverb that mother is the first teacher to a child.so we can go for parent-child relationship for children
