Getting Through the First Weeks of Settling In

Starting daycare is a big step, for the child as much as for the parents. It is perfectly normal for the first days to be full of emotions. With a bit of preparation, the transition often goes better than you feared.

Each child adapts at their own pace. Some dive into play on the very first morning, others need time to watch. What matters is giving them that space without rushing or comparing them.

Reassuring guideposts

• Visit the place together before the first day
• Talk positively about daycare, using simple words
• Bring a comforting object, like a favorite stuffed toy
• Keep a steady routine morning and evening

At goodbye time, build a little ritual: a hug, a kind word, a wave. Be brief and confident, even if it is hard. Children read our emotions very well and feel reassured when we are calm.
