Play and Learning Station - Information for the First Day
The first day in a new environment can be challenging for any child. We make
every effort to be aware of the circumstances that can produce anxiety during
the first few days, and we work with you and your child to help ensure a smooth
adjustment. If possible, we suggest that parents spend a little extra time
in the classroom during the first few days. We also encourage parents to call
any time during the day to see how their child is adjusting. Some separation
anxiety is normal and expected, and the director will be happy to provide suggestions
for a smooth and enjoyable transition into the school environment for both
you and your child.
To ensure that your child’s fist day is as enjoyable and comfortable
as possible, please bring the following items to school:
- A complete change of clothes (more than one set for infants).
- A small,
child-sized blanket for rest or nap.
- A familiar cuddly toy, especially
for younger children, to used only at nap time.
- Bibs for the infants and
toddlers.
- An extra can of pre-mixed formula for infants, for emergencies
only, if needed.
- Diapers and wipes, if needed
Please label all belongings brought from home with your child’s name.
