Support Emotional Readiness & Confidence for the Transition From Daycare to School
Because starting school shouldn’t feel scary, it should feel supported.
 
A big step for little humans (and their grown-ups).
 
The transition from daycare to school brings a mix of emotions: excitement, nerves, and sometimes, full-blown overwhelm.

Suddenly, there are new routines, unfamiliar faces, longer days, and a tiny person trying to make sense of it all.
