Early mornings can feel like a rush for parents and children but a few simple steps can ease the stress.
1. Prepare the night before. Limit clothing choices to weather-appropriate options and let your child choose in advance. 2. Use stories & activities. Read books or do crafts to help children understand routines and concepts (like dressing for the weather). 3. Make a visual schedule. Use drawings or playdough scenes to show the sequence from evening to the next day. 4. Focus on fun, not pick-up time. Talk about the exciting play and activities ahead. 5. Create a gift. Help your child make a card or small artwork for a friend or teacher. 6. Keep drop-offs quick. Trust the educators, say goodbye warmly, and let your child settle in. These little rituals strengthen your bond and make morning goodbyes smoother. If your child greets you happily at pick-up, it is a good sign, they have been safe, engaged, and having fun.
