How to Prepare Your Toddler for Preschool

Home

Archives for Preschool

Starting preschool is a big transition for your child. Parents can play a big role in preparing little ones for this new adventure. If you don’t properly prepare them, it can be a little scary and overwhelming. Here are some tips to help prepare your toddler for the right away and help ease the adjustment.

Establish a Schedule

Following a morning and nightly routine can make it easier for you and your child to transition. Early childhood education professors agree that structure and rules will teach children responsibility, help them stay organized, and give them a sense of reassurance.

Give Your Child Time to Adjust

Our preschool teachers understand that it takes time for children to adjust to their new school schedule. In our experience, it takes children roughly 6 to 8 weeks to feel comfortable with their teachers and fellow classmates. Consistency will help children push through the first several weeks.

Pack and Item from Home

It’s perfectly natural for children to suffer separation anxiety during the first few weeks of preschool. To ease this anxiety, we recommend packing comfort items. Comfort items are personal belongings that children use for sleep and comfort. Whether they have a favorite teddy bear or blanket, letting them take this item to school will remind them of home.

Plan a Visit to the School

Introducing your child to their teacher and letting them explore their school room before school starts will help ease their fears. At Corner Canyon Academy, we love having new parents and their children stop by to see how our welcoming our preschool teachers are.

Utah’s Balanced Beginning for Your Precious Child

In a warm and nurturing environment, we help students learn by using their natural curiosity. Our teachers will help students develop critical thinking skills and build their self-esteem through structured learning. Your child will enter a new learning environment that allows them to explore their curiosity and develop strong mental and physical capabilities. We want to help them sharpen the skills you have already instilled and create a foundation of happy, successful learning!

Mother’s Day is right around the corner. This special day gives children the perfect opportunity to thank their mother for all she does.  But it may be tough knowing just what to do to make her have the perfect day. To help you prepare the right appreciation this Mother’s day, here are 5 fun ways to celebrate.

Mother’s Day Activities

  1. Pamper her.

If she loves pampering, consider starting the day with breakfast in bed. If you want to go the extra mile, treat her to a day at the spa.

  1. Make a homemade Craft

A homemade craft is a fun and creative way to show how much you appreciate the mom in your family. Plus, it’s a good way to create fun and lasting memories.

  1. Spend time in the garden.

Gardening is a fun way to bond, so we recommend having your children pitch in with planting, watering, or weeding. If she needs extra help getting her garden started, visit the local nursery and have her pick out some of her favorite flowers or vegetables.

  1. Take her to a movie.

If she’s an avid movie goer, take her to her favorite theater and share a bag of popcorn. If she’d rather stay home, take out her favorite movie, grab the popcorn and the cozy blankets, and enjoy the much-needed quality time.

  1. Mother’s Day Out

At Corner Canyon Academy, we offer “Mother’s Day Out” morning daycare class for small children from the ages of 2½ to 3 years of age. If a Mom needs a couple hours of rest and relaxation without children keeping them company, this is an ideal option. During this class, your children will be introduced to colors, numbers, letters, shapes, and various objects. Stories of every kind are read aloud each day, and the children have the opportunity to role play and act out stories and situations.
