Orientation Days in Preschool
Orientation Days make a big difference when children start at a new school.
Starting school is a big step for all children and their families. While some confident boys and girls take change in their stride, sensitive kids need all the help they can get. That’s why attending Orientation Days is very important for your child’s school readiness and should be a priority in your calendar if your child is starting school next year.
What happens on an Orientation Day?
Schools put a lot of thought and effort into Orientation Days.
Teachers want you and your child to have a fantastic first experience of school, so your child’s Orientation Days will be deliberately designed to give your son or daughter a taste of the fun and success that lies ahead.
This can be especially helpful if you have an anxious child who takes time to ‘warm up’ in new environments or you are new to the area and have yet to make connections with other children.
The benefits of orientation days
Orientation Days are helpful for a number of reasons. Obviously, they give your child a chance to meet prospective classmates and be in the classroom environment that they will be part of next year.
But perhaps less obviously, they give you the opportunity to see how your child interacts and copes with new people and places too.
If you are undecided about whether your child is ready to start school, an Orientation Day could provide you with helpful insights that could guide your decision-making.
