The purpose of this study is to try and develop of parents support program to enhance family resilience in early childhood facilities. A questionnaire was distributed to parents after a trial in a day care center. Our findings indicate two points. First, mothers wrote most of the family voice in portfolios but fathers, siblings, and grandparents also provided comments. When the mothers read it at home, other family members noticed this and had communication among families. Second, participants started to better understand their day care centers’ education and care. This facilitated a shared positive understanding of children between teachers and families. In conclusion, portfolios are valuable tools to enhance family resilience.
