To make your child’s stay in Preschool a happy and pleasant experience, it is important to follow a few guidelines:

 Bring your child to the pre-school before starting. This will help them get familiar with the surroundings and staff and let them see other children enjoying their experience.

 Spend time settling your child into the daily routine.

 Once you say you are leaving, say "Goodbye" and leave.

 Staying longer if your child is upset will only lengthen the distress.

 Children usually do settle once parents have left.

 NEVER just slip away - always tell the child you are going.

 Children need to learn that you will return. Some children may need to be left a short time at first, gradually lengthening the time you are away.

 It is important to be on time to pick up your child for the first few days.

 It is fine to ring the Preschool when you get home or to work if you are concerned.
