Set the Scene
Take some time alone with your child to set the scene for a smooth transition for both of you by talking honestly and enthusiastically about preschool. Have fun shopping for school supplies and gathering nap time lovey, cot sheet, blanket, kids' sized water bottle, a change of clothes and underwear. A backpack, lunch box, diapers, and sunscreen, are all needed for the first day of preschool. Make sure to have fun spending time together to prepare for an extremely exciting day for both of you.
​
Have a positive talk about preschool
The night before school, make sure your child gets a good night's sleep. It's a transition for both of you so make sure to have a talk to help each other with the transition. On the first morning, plan a little extra time to get to school and do your best to drop off as quickly as possible. Your child may be a little scared and not want you to leave, this is totally normal and to be expected. We will give him or her a lot of cuddles and comfort while they make the transition. You're welcome to call us to check on your child, but don't worry we will send you many pictures and updates through out the day.
