Is Your Toddler Starting Preschool This Year

Is Your Toddler Starting Preschool This Year?

Toddler moms: Are you sending your kiddo to school this year? Dropping your child off at preschool for the first time, even if it is only for a couple of days a week, can be gutwrenching for parents. It can also be difficult for children to adjust from being home all the time to being away from home for, what feels like to them, an extended period of time. Luckily, you can make the adjustment easy for both of you. Keep reading for our tips on bringing your toddler to preschool for the first time and how some lunchtime essentials can help make the transition easier!

Tips for Parents and Kids

Set up your routine. Chances are, you will have to leave early in the morning (maybe earlier than they are used to) in order to get your kid to school. Start getting them up at the desired time and go through the whole routine of getting dressed, brushing their teeth, doing their hair, and getting out the door.

  • Visit the school together beforehand. One of the scariest parts for children about heading to school for the first time is the unknown. Bring them to their school early, and even meet their teacher if you can, so it seems familiar to them when they get there on the big day.
  • Talk and read about preschool. Start getting your kiddo excited about preschool by talking a lot about it, reiterating what to expect, and even grabbing some books about preschool so they can have a visualization.
  • Have a celebration plan in place. Going to school for the whole day, using their potty, eating their lunch, and doing some awesome crafts are all worthy of being celebrated, especially in the early days of going to preschool. How can you celebrate with your kiddo once they get home?
  • Give them brand-new items to use while they’re there. Remember how much fun it was to get new school supplies, organize them, and use them at school? Grab some new stuff for your little one to use at school, including some mealtime essentials!
