No two families are the same. So how you and your child cope with going off to Kindercare for the first time will be unique to you. However, experience over 37 years has generally shown us that spending some time in the centre with your child, prior to leaving them with us for the first time, can be very beneficial to you and your child. Just a few hours allows your child time to observe routines, become accustomed to surroundings and get to know faces. This familiarity is really important for their sense of well-being when they are left in our care, for the first time. And yes, some children are absolutely fine and quickly settle in, while others take a little more time and need some additional sensitivity and nurturing before they are comfortable. We will work with you to ensure a smooth transition.
