Settling Your Child into Kindergarten

Some children will feel shy when they start at kindergarten, and they may need you to stay with them for a little while, until they are familiar with the new faces and surroundings.  Please make allowances for this, time-wise.

When it is time to say good-bye, do so promptly, telling your child you will be back to pick them up soon.  Try and settle your child to an activity rather than leaving them standing aimlessly in the room.

If your child is upset when you leave be strong for them, it is an important part of their learning to learn to cope with separation.  If you are worried please call us to see how they are.  If they are not coping be assured that staff will contact you.

If you have any concerns about your child starting at kindergarten, please come and see your group teacher.
