It’s normal

Many toddlers feel nervous when they start preschool. With patience and routine, most settle in within a few weeks.

Keep goodbyes short

A warm hug and a confident goodbye help more than a long farewell.

Build familiarity

Visit the preschool together, talk about the teachers, and read stories about school at home.

Trust the teachers

Experienced teachers know how to comfort and engage nervous children, and will keep you updated.
