During the tour, your child will have the chance to see the colorful classrooms, explore the play areas, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/growingkids.com\/about-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">meet our friendly staff<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This visit will help them visualize their upcoming preschool experience and make them feel comfortable in their new surroundings. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/growingkids.com\/find-a-school\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find a preschool near you<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to schedule a tour!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15864\" src=\"https:\/\/growingkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Four-Ways-To-Get-Your-Child-Excited-About-Preschool-image2-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"mom talking to son about preschool\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Talk About Starting Preschool<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engage your child in conversations about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/growingkids.com\/programs\/preschool\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">preschool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> long before their first day. Discuss all the fun and exciting things they will get to do at Growing Kids, such as making new friends, playing with toys, participating in art projects, and learning through age-appropriate activities. By doing so, you can help them develop a sense of anticipation and enthusiasm!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15865\" src=\"https:\/\/growingkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Four-Ways-To-Get-Your-Child-Excited-About-Preschool-image3-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"mom reading with preschooler daughter\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Read Books About Preschool<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reading books about preschool can help your child build an understanding and familiarity with the concept. Choose entertaining books that depict preschool experiences and highlight the joys of learning and socializing with peers. This activity will stimulate their imagination, answer questions they may have, and create excitement about their own preschool journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-15866\" src=\"https:\/\/growingkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Four-Ways-To-Get-Your-Child-Excited-About-Preschool-image4-500x500.jpg\" alt=\"mom playing preschool with daughter\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Play Pretend Preschool<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children learn through play, and by pretending to play preschool, your child can develop a positive association with the idea. Set up a small area in your home with toys, books, and art supplies similar to what they may find in preschool. Encourage them to take on the role of a student or teacher and engage in activities that mimic what they will experience at Growing Kids. This is also a great excuse to spend more time with your little one!<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By following these steps, you can help your child get excited about starting this new chapter in their life. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/growingkids.com\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact Growing Kids<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with any questions you may have, and schedule a tour of one of our Northern Indiana preschool locations today!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/live.childcarecrm.com\/portal\/index.php?formId=c18702f2165e77fac82ca0365a869581&amp;webForm=EB38905D-A1B2-AC4C-CFF2-B4A8C393F747\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Enroll Today<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting preschool is a significant milestone in your child&#8217;s life.
