Advice for starting preschool?
| Wed, 04-09-2008 - 4:09pm |
Hi all,
I am "visiting" here more and more - I think it's where DD (2.5, HFA) and I belong :) I had posted a few weeks ago about preschool programs (got some great advice - thanks). DD will be starting preschool 2x/week in a couple weeks - a program that is half NT kids and half kids w/SN. She's never been in daycare, and has hardly ever had a sitter, so I'm worried about how to prepare her. Any advice? And, how did your kids adjust in their first forays away from home?
I did just order her a DVD about Elmo going to school, and she is very excited to buy a new backpack (serious Dora fan LOL) but I know she really has no idea of what is going to happen.



















Kris, my DS (2 yrs 11 mos, dx ASD-early) started a spec. ed preschool in mid-Feb.
These are some things that helped us:
If you can, take her to visit at least once before she starts so the place isn't totally unfamiliar.
