Is It Your First Time Ever?
Here are some things you should keep in mind:Germs: your child’s immune system may not be used to being around all these new germs. Evidently, you can expect a little case of the sniffles or even a cough. Your child’s immune system will get stronger with time. Meanwhile, we recommend healthy eating, good sleep and proper hand-washing to minimize the spread of germs.
Separation anxiety is totally normal even with the most outgoing and sociable children. Although it differs for each kid, it takes an average of about two weeks for the child to get accustomed with the idea of going to a daycare every day. Thankfully, we have tools to help you manage it; just ask us!
If ever you want to check in on your child, you can always contact us. In most cases, you can speak with your child’s teacher. If this is not possible, we can have a member of our administrative staff check in.
