No peeling a crying child off you at the door.
Settling in here goes at your child's pace, not by a chart on the wall.
How enrollment works, step by step
A visit
Once we open, come and take a look – you'll see the space, the team, and circle time in action. Feel free to bring your child along.
Intro meeting
Before your child starts, we'll go over their routines: how they sleep, what they eat, what calms them down, whether there's a cuddly toy they can't fall asleep without. The more we know, the easier the start.
Application
Forms, required documents, and enrollment dates will be published before we launch. We'll walk you through them.
Settling in
Tailored to your child – see below.
What settling in looks like here
We tailor the settling-in period to each child individually. Together we'll talk about your child's personality, and we'll offer our professional advice on how to set the whole process up so it's as easy as possible for your child.
What you should know up front, honestly
- Crying is part of the beginning. The hardest point usually comes around day nine – then it typically turns a corner.
- Children pick up on your stress – sometimes it works better when dad does the drop-off. When you're calm, your child copes better.
- Settling in takes a month or two. “They'll adjust within a week” is a myth from online forums. It isn't over the moment your child stops crying at drop-off.
- We take children in diapers too. No ultimatums like “they have to be potty trained by September.”
- If we see your child is struggling, we'll suggest a way forward – say, scaling back from 5 days a week to 3.
For preschoolers, in plain terms
We are registered as a childcare group, not a state-registered kindergarten. Five- and six-year-olds are perfectly welcome here; formally, though, they complete the compulsory preschool year through an individual education plan under their local public kindergarten, which they only visit for an evaluation. In practice, it just means a bit of paperwork, and we'll help you take care of it.
