Starting at a new early learning centre is a big adventure, and it’s perfectly normal for children (and parents!) to feel a little nervous.
At Active Learners, we make settling in a smooth and positive experience, with plenty of warmth, reassurance, and fun along the way. Here are our top tips to help your child feel right at home:
start small
Short visits at the beginning give children time to explore their new space without feeling overwhelmed. It helps them to form early bonds and feel safe with their educators.
comfort items
A comforter or pacifier to ease transitions.
bottles & formula
A quick hug, kiss, and a cheerful “see you soon” helps children feel secure and know you’ll be back.
stay connected
We’ll keep you updated with photos and stories through our communication app, so you can share in their day.
trust the process
With patience, consistency, and plenty of care, children soon go from teary goodbyes to excited hellos.
At Active Learners, settling in is about building confidence, trust, and joy one little step at a time.
