Your Child’s First Day at Grow With Us in Pensacola
It is completely normal for young children to feel unsure about being away from their parents. Like adults, they need time to adjust to a new environment.
Talk with your child beforehand about the new people they will meet and the activities they will enjoy. For first-time students, it is normal to feel hesitant or upset during separation. A reassuring hug and kiss when you say goodbye helps them feel secure and confident that you will return later in the day.
Our caring staff in Pensacola will comfort your child until they feel safe and ready to play independently. You are always welcome to call the school to check in. We are here to support both you and your child through any transitional challenges.
