  Lewannick Preschool ::: Starting Preschool  
     
  •  The first days:  
  An unhappy child will not play or learn effectively, so parents and staff need to work  
  together to help the child feel confident and secure in the group. This takes longer for  
  some children than others, and parents should not feel worried if their child takes  
  a while to settle. Parents are welcome to stay until they think their child is ready to be  
  left.  
     
  •  What to wear:  
  Please try to send your child in clothes which are easily washable or not too new - we  
  use all sorts of messy play materials. Simple clothing which they can manage themselves  
  is good for self esteem and makes going to the toilet easier!  
     
  •  The Role of Parents:  
  We recognise parents are the first and most important educators for their young  
  children. We aim to support parents. Parents are welcomed into the group, encouraged  
  to assist with fund raising and to take an active role on the Committee.  
  Our parent rota system includes washing up and it only takes about 10 minutes  
  at the end of each session. It also enables parents to see the children participating  
  in the group. The rota is always displayed on the outside notice board.
