Settling In

The settling-in session begins with the child and their parent(s) for the first hour, followed by the child being left in the care of their key person for an additional hour. 

This gradual approach helps ease the transition and allows your child to become more familiar with their new environment.


We recommend scheduling your child’s settling-in session close to their start date and on a day they will attend, ensuring the experience is fresh in their mind. This session, offered at no cost, provides an opportunity for your child to meet their key person(s) and for you to share important information to support your child’s transition, as well as discuss future strategies for their development.
