Hello Parents and Guardians
School Ready
Is your child ready to tackle the variety of daily activities taking place at school? Have you set them up for success? The small routines we as adults put into place for our children range from getting them ready for bed at an appropriate time, to a good morning routine that should include breakfast. If you know your child is a fussy eater in the morning, try and accommodate that fussiness with a well thought through plan that gets them to eat. Children who choose not to eat in the morning are less likely to cope with the pace of a classroom. This means they become agitated, grumpy, non-compliant, sleepy, sometimes rude - all because they have not had a settled start to the day. If on any morning you cannot feed your child and need assistance - quietly let us know.
Set your child up for success, let’s make sure the next generation achieves far more than what we achieve!
