Special Tips for a Positive Preschool Experience
- Your attitude is contagious! Be positive and confident about your decision to enroll your child in preschool. You have made a wise decision! Your little one will reflect your confidence and positive attitude.
- When dropping off your child in the morning, don't linger but be sure to tell your child good-bye and remind them that you will be there to pick them up in a little while. A quick, clean, confident break will be best for both you and your child. As soon as you are gone, your child will quickly become absorbed in the activities of the day.
- Be sure your child gets plenty of sleep and a good breakfast before coming to school.
- Encourage your child to tell you about his or her day at school. Look for the positives and don't dwell on any negative experience. However, don't press the issue if your child doesn't seem to have much to say - some kids just don't keep their parents informed as well as others!
- Check with the teacher for activities you can do at home to carry through on the things done in school. Let your child teach you fingerplays and songs. If special recipes are used in school, try making them at home. Your interest and involvement will give your child a great sense of achievement and importance.
- Please read all papers and newsletters, which are sent home with your child. Watch for notes and announcements posted outside your child's class. Stay informed so your child won't miss out on any of the fun!
