Back-to-school or beginning school for the first time is often challenging for children and families starting early childhood education. Up to this point in the child’s life, they’ve likely been either inseparable from their parents or family members. Transitioning from homecare or daycare to an educational center can be a frightening thing not only for the child but the parent and guardian as well. It’s a big transition.
Over the years, as MT’s Family Visiting Coordinator, I’ve identified five tips that families have implemented at the beginning of the school year that set them up for success for the remainder of the year!
These tips take practice, but their impact is transformational. Through Martha’s Table’s Family Visiting program, my team is able to see families grow and thrive in real time as they put these tips and other tools into action.
As an Early Head Start-funded program, Family Visiting focuses on empowering parents and guardians to build secure relationships with their children and create high-quality learning environments as their child’s first teacher. Each family is partnered with a family visitor who they meet with virtually on a weekly basis for about 90 minutes to discuss child development activities, goals, and any resources they may need. This also includes communication between visits regarding updates, scheduling, and other things that may come up. The Family Visiting program is open to any pregnant moms and parents/caregivers with children under 3 years old living in Ward 7 or 8. Please click here to enroll in our Family Visiting Program.
