Description
Support children through the first weeks of preschool with this calm, caring goodbye routine for arrivals. The printable guides educators through a warm handover, acknowledging feelings, following a family-agreed comfort plan, and inviting children to explore at their own pace. Blank fields help staff record the family’s goodbye strategy and trusted adult, making it useful to display near the classroom entry or staff check-in area. Reach for it during daily drop-off to offer consistent reassurance without rushing separation.
