First Day at the Center

Before your child begins attending MLC, set up an exact enrollment date. You may bring your child for 1 or 2 days for a visit to help them get acquainted with the center.

Children often cry the first few times they are left. Try a brief goodbye. Delaying departure is hard on the child and the parent, as both become more upset and reinforce each other’s fear feelings. If your child is upset when you leave the center, feel free to call the center back after some time to check on your child’s progress. We will call you if your child does not settle down. Most children quiet down quickly, they are reassured by the teacher and become interested in the toys and other children.
