Preparing Your Child for Preschool at The Owl’s Nest
Starting preschool is an exciting milestone! At The Owl’s Nest, we believe in nurturing the whole child—emotionally, physically, and educationally—through a nature-inspired, play-based approach. To help your little one feel confident and ready for their journey, here are a few gentle ways to prepare:
Emotionally: Talk with your child about what to expect and visit our space together if possible. Begin practicing short goodbyes and establish a consistent morning routine to build a sense of security and trust.
Physically: Encourage independence with self-care skills like putting on shoes, washing hands, and using the bathroom. Outdoor playtime and open-ended movement at home also help build stamina and coordination for our active mornings.
Educationally: Read together daily, explore nature, and talk about colors, shapes, and sounds in your everyday environment. Your child doesn’t need to “know it all”—curiosity, wonder, and a love of learning are the best tools they can bring!
At The Owl’s Nest, we’re here to support your family every step of the way. Let’s grow together—rooted in care, guided by nature. 🌿🦉
