Preparing for Daycare
Small, consistent steps can help a new childcare routine feel more familiar for children and parents.
Share routines
Tell educators about sleep, food, comfort, toileting, communication and recent changes at home.
Build familiarity
Talk simply about daycare, practise brief separations when appropriate and keep goodbyes warm and predictable.
Expect an adjustment
Transitions vary. Keep communication open and give the new routine time to become familiar.
