Before Starting at Pre-School
- Talk to your child in an encouraging way about what to expect.
- Teach him/her how to put on and take off coats and shoes.
- Encourage your child to sit and drink from an open cup.
- Read to them on a regular basis and encourage active listening.
- Try to give your child a few other positive experiences away from you.
- If you feel you want to help with pencil control/early writing, please use lower case
letters, except for the start of their name, e.g. Sarah.
After Starting Pre-School
- Encourage your child to be sensible when it is time to leave you. Saying you are going to
be sad without him/her will make it much harder on both of you. - Show an interest in what has happened during the session and indicate that you are
pleased. - Give lots of praise and encouragement.
- Try to set a pattern for regular attendance.
- Take your child to the library and read to them regularly.
- Talk to him/her at every opportunity and encourage a response, generating an interest in
the surrounding world. - Be prompt when collecting your child. It can be very upsetting for them if they think
they have been forgotten. If you are unavoidably detained, ring the pre-school and then
the staff can reassure the child that you are on your way.
