Follow these tips to prepare your child for preschool
Don't Overprepare "There's no need to start preparing your child for preschool months in advance" says Silvana Clark, a preschool teacher in Bellingham, Washington and the author of 600 Tips For Early Childhood Directors. "Some well-meaning parents begin talking about preschool and building it up too far ahead of time, and by the time school starts, the child feels this is a huge event in her life, which can be overwhelming to a little one" Instead, start talking about preschool in a casual, upbeat manner about two to three weeks before class starts. For example, if you drive by a playground, Clark suggests that you say, "When you go to preschool, you'll have a slide like that one" or "There's your school. I'll walk in with you right by that blue door. Your teacher, Miss Suzie, will be there." This lets your child know what to expect and gives her something to look forward to.
