Starting pre-school or nursery school brings many changes to a child’s and family’s routine, as well as challenges everyone’s comfort zones. Pre-school readiness is a key to a smoother change and transition. Some children manage the transition without too much difficulty and after the first couple weeks have gotten used to a new place, new faces, and new ways of doing things.
Other children however face periods of sensory overload, anxiety, frustration, escalation in outbursts or other negative behaviors, incontinence, and significant issues with interaction and participation in the new surroundings.
Beginning Kindergarten, without attending a Pre-School or Pre-K program is a huge change in a child’s life as well. Planning and preparation is an important key in helping and supporting your child through the major transitions they will encounter.
Deciding whether or not your child is ready for pre-school or nursery school can help in your decision to hold off on starting your child into a new setting until you have more time to help develop and promote “pre-school readiness.” Doing everything you can to get a child ready for the big change in their life will help with the transition period for everyone in the family.
