5 Tips for a Smooth Morning Drop-off

Keep goodbyes short, warm, and predictable. A special phrase or handshake gives your child a comforting ritual to lean on.

Arrive a few minutes early so your child can settle into an activity before you leave the room.

Never sneak out — even a hard goodbye builds trust. Confidence grows when children know exactly what to expect.

Send a small comfort item on tough days: a family photo, a favorite lovey, or a note tucked into their cubby.

Trust our teachers. Tears usually fade within minutes once you're out of sight — we always text if your little one needs extra support.
