Back to School!

It’s that time of year again…back to school.  It’s a time to be excited, anxious, nervous and relieved all in one!  Part of you is sad that the summer is over, the other part is thrilled to take on the challenges of a new year.  For many, this is their child’s first school experience.  You wonder will they be okay away from mom and dad, will they be scared, will they have fun, will they make friends?  The answer to all of those is yes!  Many children are a bit nervous during their first time at school, but it is totally normal.  I tell all of my families, it is harder on you then it is on them.  No one likes to see their child upset or crying, but it doesn't last long.  Once they are in the classroom surrounded by other people their size and tons of new toys, games and activities, excitement takes hold and they can’t wait to dive in.  

Being a kid is all about experiencing new things and having fun doing it.  The preschool experience is about play, socializing and learning.  They will have a great time and so will you!  Trust us, we’ve done this a couple of times before  :)
