How to prepare your child for their first day at preschool

The first day at preschool is a big moment. A little preparation at home helps your child walk in feeling safe and curious.

Talk about school in a positive way

Mention the fun things your child will do: songs, stories, painting and new friends. Keep it simple and cheerful.

Practise the routine

  • Wake up and have breakfast at school-day times for a week before.
  • Pack the school bag together.
  • Practise a short, happy goodbye.

Keep goodbyes short

A warm hug and a clear goodbye works better than a long farewell. Our teachers will help your child settle in at their own pace.
