We’d love for your child to join you during the visit.

We encourage both parents to visit our program.

This is a good time to learn more about our teaching philosophy, and how attending WLC will benefit your child.

5. Welcome Visit

Teacher Introduction & Welcome

Before your child starts at WLC, we will contact you to set up a time for you and your child to visit. This provides an opportunity to meet the teacher and become familiar with the classroom, as well as to ease the transition.

 

Acclimation Week
Your child begins with a gentle start. Young children thrive in environments where they feel safe and secure. A gradual start reduces separation anxiety by giving the child time to build trust with their teacher, understand routines, and adjust at their own pace.
