Next Tuesday and Wednesday as you are getting your child ready for school, you will probably think of how much they have grown over the summer or how much their vocabulary has improved in the last year. Or if you are a parent like me, you will remember when they were really little and needed so much of your help and were very dependent on you for everything. That memory can make a parent sad and long for those days when their child was still little.
This school year will inevitably bring about changes in yours and your child's life. Preschool is their first big step in to their educational career's and being away from you. They are going to have good days and bad days, just like everyone else. They are going to make friends, learn to share, create and have amazing "firsts" that they will want to show you when you two are together at the end of the day. Learning to zip their coat, tie a shoe, write their name and so many other "firsts" are about to take place. Make sure you treasure these moments that are about to come along. Take the time to sit and listen to their stories...however long it may last and watch them write their name. Those moments only happen once and trust me, they are precious.
It is our job at Wee World to make sure that Preschool is the most positive experience it can be for you and your child. I believe that every child is a unique individual that learns at their own pace and in their own time. Together we are growing life long learners. Please feel free to call or come in a talk if you need to.
Have a great Labor Day weekend and I will see all of you next week!
