Back-to-school is an exciting time of year for so many reasons! As the leaves change colors and swimwear gets put away, a new year of learning begins for both parents and kids. When getting ready to put your little one in day care or preschool, make sure they have everything they need to make the transition from summer to fall easily. 

A Brighter Rainbow Learning Center in Billerica, MA has a few essentials you can add to your shopping list to get everyone pumped for the new year!

• Warm clothes. Especially for the wee ones, it's important that they are ready to deal with the weather change when transitioning from summer to fall. A fall coat or jacket, a hat, and warm boots are must-haves to stay toasty in the nippy weather! 
• New lunchbox. In addition to the morning and afternoon snack that every child at A Brighter Rainbow receives, parents are welcome to pack a lunchbox with any favorites or healthy goodies your child is used to having at home. This will make the transition easier, and ensures your child has everything he or she needs to stay mentally stimulated and focused throughout the day. No school year is complete without a perfect lunchbox!
• Reading and activity books. Learning is something that can happen anywhere at any time, and it's never too early to start. Children engage in a wide variety of mentally stimulating activities at A Brighter Rainbow Learning Center, and parents should continue the fun at home! Reading together, coloring together, or doing any sorts of learning activities together is a great way to help your child love school and love learning. If you make it fun, learning is never a chore!
