Dear parents, welcome to the Taman Kanak- Kanak Montessori, Bali
First Day Transitions
Try to occasionally drive by the school: “This is your new school! You will be coming here next week!”.
If your child has never separated from you, you may want to set up a morning visit with a trusted friend or grandparent. Ensure that these visits are enjoyable and predictable for your child. As you leave, always say goodbye to your child and return promptly as promised. You child will learn that separations are for a limited time and always end happily.
Set up a morning routine that gives your child enough time to get dressed and have breakfast leisurely before coming to school.
For many children, the moment of parting is the hardest part. On your way to school, it is important that you chat with your child about the fun he will have at school, the exciting things he or she will be doing and the new friends he or she will make.
However, when you arrive at school, please drop your child off at the classroom door, say goodbye and leave as soon as you can. The shorter is better.
If you child is particularly anxious, don't be afraid too talk about his or her tears or fears. Acknowledge them and say that you both feel a bit sad to say goodbye and you will both try to be brave.
Don't ask your child too many questions the first day of school. Give your child a chance to have a nap or relax a bit around the house. Try to keep after-school activities, such as swimming or dance lessons, to a minimum during the first few weeks at school.
