    The Child at Preschool

    Some children adapt readily to preschool, others take their time. No matter how your child reacts to school, allow time to do it in his/her own way.

    It is common for children to:

    • remain very close to you when you are at preschool.
    • interact very little with other children at first.
    • say very little about preschool at home.
    • change their behavior at home as they try out new independence.
    • have more colds and illnesses from contact with more people.

     

    To assist your child, you can:

    • give the teacher any information that will help make the adjustment easier.
    • avoid building expectations too high.
    • suggest casually what to expect.
    • tell your child there will be other children of the same age, toys to be used, areas to be explored and friendly, caring adults.
    • give reassurance that you will accompany your child to school and stay as long as needed.
    • provide comfortable clothing. Your child should not have to worry about staying clean. Dress for messy activities and wear sturdy non-skid shoes for climbing.
