How to Prepare Your Child for the First Day of Daycare
The first day of daycare is more than a milestone—it’s a leap of trust, courage, and growth for both children and parents. Whether your baby is just a few months old or your toddler is bounding into independence, a thoughtful transition makes all the difference. At Tiny Scholars, we guide families through gentle steps—building secure attachments, introducing new routines, and honouring every child’s unique needs. With warmth, consistency, and open communication, we help parents and children feel supported, connected, and ready for this new beginning.

That’s where daycare steps in—not just as childcare, but as a partner in restoring balance, wellness, and joy. At Tiny Scholars, we believe empowered mothers raise empowered children, and that every mum deserves a village of care for both her and her little one.
