Gradual Entry
The first days in a new childcare environment are extremely important to children’s feeling of security and acceptance, whether they have had social experiences or not. When separation is handled well, it will help both you and your child to adjust to this new experience. We advocate a gradual entry process for all children at the centre to make this an easy and positive transition for all concerned.
Our orientation into the program is a 3 to 5 day process. Parents should be prepared to spend some time with their child during the first few days, in order to establish a comfortable and trusting relationship with staff, children and the environment.
