We know that starting daycare is a big milestone for both you and your little one. At The Tot Spot, we are committed to making this transition as smooth, warm, and stress-free as possible through our personalized settling-in process.
We invite and encourage all families to participate in several short transition visits before your child’s official start date.
Cost-Free Connection: There is no charge for these settling sessions while a parent or caregiver remains present.
Familiarity & Trust: These visits allow your child to explore their new surroundings with the safety of having you nearby. It’s the perfect time for both of you to become familiar with our teachers, our daily rhythms, and the “home away from home” environment we’ve created.
The settling-in period is a vital time for your child’s Key Teacher to begin building a special bond with them.
Individualized Care: By observing your child during these visits, their teacher learns about their unique personality, likes, dislikes, and comfort triggers.
A Smooth Handover: This deep understanding allows the teacher to facilitate a transition that feels natural and secure, ensuring your child feels “seen” from day one.
Every child is different, and some may take longer to settle than others—and that’s okay!
Custom Plans: If you have any questions or would like to create a specific settling-in plan for your child, our teachers are always available for a chat.
Open Door Policy: We are partners in this journey, and we are here to help and support your family every step of the way.
