What’s On

Ready for Starting at Childcare or Preschool

Children demonstrate a wide range in readiness for new learning situations.

Come to this workshop presented by EarlyEd to find out about ways to support your child to have a smooth start to childcare/preschool/family day care.

We will cover topics that include what to expect when a child starts at preschool/childcare and how to prepare for:

• separation

• orientation

If needed, how your early intervention services can support you, your child and centre staff in their new setting.
