Smooth Sailing: Helping Your Child Transition from Preschool to Primary

Moving from preschool to primary school is a big step for kids, filled with excitement and challenges. To ease the shift, start by discussing the new environment positively—talk about making friends, fun activities, and learning new things. Visit the school beforehand, letting your child explore the classrooms and playground. Establish routines early, like bedtime schedules and packing school bags together. Encourage independence by teaching simple tasks like tying shoelaces or organizing supplies. Be patient as they adjust and stay involved by communicating with teachers. Your support will help them embrace this new journey with confidence and joy!
