Before Your First Day
Preparing for the Amazing Journey Ahead.
A little preparation turns a big transition into an exciting one. Here is how families at Crystals Childcare & Preschool get ready together.
A Gentle Start
Four things to do before day one
- 01
Tour the school
Walk the hallways, look into the classrooms and picture your child's day. Tours are relaxed and there is no obligation.
- 02
Meet the director and faculty
Ask the questions that matter to you — routines, ratios, naps, meals, discipline, transitions. You should leave knowing who will care for your child.
- 03
Attend an open house
Open house events let children explore the space with you beside them, which makes the first drop-off far easier.
- 04
Ease into the routine
Practice the morning schedule at home, talk about school warmly, and keep goodbyes short and confident. We will take it from there.
