Getting Ready for Preschool
Jill Moore
Early Learning, Champaign, IL

Today, by the age of 12 months, about half of U.S. children are in a child care center or a family day care home. The methods of helping a child adjust to a program should correspond with the age, developmental level, and background of the child. Small steps toward independence will help a child separate from a parent. Questions answered in this Chat include, “What are some issues involved in helping children adjust to a new program?” “How can I prepare myself as a parent for my child to enter preschool or child care?” “If a child resists going to preschool after several tries, should a parent wait until she's older to start her in school or try a different school?” “What if my child doesn't understand English well? What should I do about preschool?”
