Preparation

       

Ways to help prepare your child for childcare

   
 
  • Take the child to visit the daycare before the first day
  • Arrange for the child to meet the teacher in advance
  • Read stories to your child about starting daycare
  • Allow extra time the first few days to linger before saying good-bye
  • Start attendence slowly, maybe only mornings for the first week
  • Allow the child to take a security object such as a favorite toy or blankie
  • Tell your child what to expect
  • Answer any questions or concerns they may have
  • Clearly explain when you will return for them
  • Establish a routine
  • Communicate with teachers about how everyone can ease the transition
