To help your child adjust to a childcare program, your help is needed.  You can help with the adjustment by talking about school with your child. Your child will most likely cling to you for the first days after enrollment.

Hugs, smiles, enthusiasm and constant encouragement will undoubtedly help your child have a positive day. This time can be shortened each day until your child is fully adjusted. This may take sometime, about a week in most cases, but do not despair. Even if your child cries every time you leave it usually does not exceed a few minutes and a teacher will make sure your child is not left with a feeling of fear or loneliness.

Also, take time at the end of the day to review your child’s work and progress. During the adjustment period your child may give you some bewildering reactions such as extra fussiness, irritability and/or shyness. These reactions will disappear as the child adjusts to the surroundings. Then he/she will be able to comfortably become involved in the activities and with other children.

Change always brings some anxiety for the parent and child. Just remember, transitions take time so be patient.
