Transition Policy
Footprints Daycare's core belief is that every child belongs to a different way of family upbringing. Through their different environment; each uniqueness and individuality become a part of each child’s development and growth. Realistically, every family has different cultures and values wherein each child has to flourish.
In Footprints Daycare, we will respect each child and do our best to help make your child happy. Our childcare educators can give full support through your child’s feelings and emotions. To make your child’s first day a memorable day, our childcare educators have all the love tender and care to offer to make transition time, easy for both parents and staff. Depending on space availability, a child may stay in the classroom for 1-2 hours a week until your child feels comfortable in his/her new environment.
We will do our best to make the transition easier, a fun experience for the child, and less concerning for the parents.
