Starting your child in a new facility can be lead to separation anxiety for you as parent and your child. It is very natural for your child to be upset when separating from you in the first few weeks. This is very normal and every child experiences it in a different way or different degree. Some parents get upset if their child does not cry when they leave. Some children cry for a few days. Other take longer while some do not cry in the first week but by next week their experience some separation anxiety. For your reassurance, children adjust to change easily and more so when parents leave. They do not cry all day. We do our best in ensuring your child feels safe, secure and cared for in friendly environment. We have a great group of teachers who are trained and sensitive to your child’s needs. Some children like a hug, others like to be left alone and observe the program till they are ready to join. Staff are there to support your child in adjusting and during the separation process. For the adjustment to be easier, please stop by with your child as many times before he/she is registered so that they get familiar with the environment and faces of staff. Explain to the child where they are going, what activities they will engage in etc. and that you will be back to pick them at end of day. By returning early for the first few sessions, your child will understand that you will return.
