		Getting a Successful Start to Playschool By Eveline Shum November 13, 2001 Remember that each child will react differentlyto going to Playschool. Some children will need more time adjust, while others will join the group without hesitation. Some considerations to help your child get a successful start are ... Plan to spend extra time at arrival on the first few days. Not only will you want to see how your child adjusts, you will need to pick up paperwork, complete and/or file forms, etc. Remember to bring the necessary items to stock your child's box. These items include a change of clothes and diapers. The Playschool will provide diaper wipes. Pack a lunch for your child that is easy to eat and remember to mark your child's lunch bag, cup or other containers with his/her name. If your child is having a difficult time, consider gradually increasing the time spent at playschool each day. For example, on Day 3, arrive at 10:00 a.m. instead of at the 9:30 a.m. opening time and pick your child up at 11:45 a.m. instead of at the official 12:30 p.m. departure time. On Day 4, arrive at 9:50 a.m. and pick up at 12:00 noon. A gradual increase of the total time spent away from the parent may help the transition. Be punctual to drop off and pick up your child. And if you are an on-duty parent, be sure you arrive 15 minutes early to open and set up the room. On-duty parents should be familiar with the Child Information Sheets that will be filed in the binder at the Playschool. The Executive Committee will review the sheets to compile and post any information on food allergies that the other parents should be aware of.
