Prior to Enrollment:

Beginning group care and being away from parents is often overwhelming for young children.  In order to help make a smooth transition, we ask that you make arrangements to help your child become acquainted with the Center.  Please plan some visits with your child to the Center where you many get to know the teachers and explore the room together before they actually begin attending the Center.  Plan these visits to be a few hours each and then try to plan for shorter schedules the first few days if possible.  If you are unable to do this before starting, we ask that you spend time with your child during at least the first week of starting and any time thereafter.
