Starting play school or nursery is a significant emotional transition for both children and parents. With gentle preparation, you can make this milestone joyful and stress-free.
1. Build Excitement and Familiarity
Talk about school as a fun place to make new friends, play games, and hear stories. Read picture books about school routines together in the weeks leading up to day one.
2. Key Preparation Steps
- Establish Sleep Routines: Adjust bedtime and morning wake-up times 2 weeks early.
- Visit Campus Together: Attend orientation sessions to familiarize your child with classrooms and teachers.
- Practice Self-Help Skills: Encourage independent eating, shoe wearing, and tidying up toys.
