Settling Sessions
These free sessions can begin up to four weeks before your child’s first day, helping them adjust to the new environment. Strong relationships with caregivers provide a secure base for emotional safety, learning, and development.
Our staff support emotional wellbeing by:
- Encouraging trust and attachment.
- Creating a safe and welcoming space.
- Working closely with parents to ensure a smooth transition.
