Enrolling in preschool is a big transition for both you and your child. They might feel some anxiety about going to a new environment, and you may be nervous about leaving them for the first time. As you get your child prepared to begin a preschool program, keep a few tips in mind so the change is a smooth one.

Determine if Your Child Is Truly Ready for Preschool

preschool programIf your child has never been in a daycare center or is used to a stay-at-home parent, going to preschool will be a big transition. You don’t want to force your child into doing something they are not ready for, so talk with them to gain a sense of their enthusiasm or anxieties about going to preschool.

Find the Right School

There are many different early learning centers to choose from, so do your research, tour different facilities, and meet the staff to gain a sense of what different schools have to offer and at what price range. Consider which kind of preschool programs would be the best fit for your child, such as a Montessori school, a cultural school, or a daycare/preschool combination. 

Prepare for the First Day

When your child is ready to begin preschool, make sure they have the necessary supplies and clothing. They will have to adjust to a new routine, so it is important to create and maintain a set schedule during the school week to help them transition.
