Big changes can bring big feelings for you and your child. Whether you’re heading into kindy, daycare, or Year 1, this session is here to support you in creating a gentle, confident start that works for your child and the people around them.

We’ll discuss how to prepare, what to expect, and how to share what really matters, in a way that feels doable, supportive, and true to both you and your child.

In this peer group we’ll explore

Routines, regulation, and settling in at your child’s pace

How to talk with educators about your child’s needs and strengths

Building trust and connection with your child's educators

Trusting your own instincts because you know your child best
