SOME TIPS ON HOW TO FURTHER SUPPORT THE CHILD’S TRANSITION INCLUDE:
• Be consistent with the ‘Good-bye’ routine
• Take the time to speak with carers – find out what your child is enjoying at the centre, and any friends they have made. For the younger children, discuss development, any milestones and also support you may require, eg: Toilet Training
• When dropping off – Provide the carer with an understanding of the child’s patterns and feelings prior to starting their day at Discover My World. This includes how they slept, what they had for breakfast, and anything that may excite or have upset them
• Contact Us – Each parent is welcome to contact the centre and speak with the room leader or a carer for an update on the child if concerned with how they may be coping with the transition or simply to see how they are going.
