Practice the routine
Talk through the morning, pack the bag together, name the teacher, and keep goodbye short and warm.

Help Your Child Settle Into Care
Most children need repetition, calm goodbyes, and predictable routines before a new classroom feels familiar.
Expect an adjustment window
Some children cry at drop-off and still have a good day. What happens after you leave matters more than the goodbye itself.
Use consistent language
A simple line like "I will come back after snack and play" can help more than a long negotiation at the door.
