The start of a new school year is always exciting, but little ones sometimes feel nervous about making the transition whether that be the prospect of a new classroom, new teachers or new friends. Try these tips to help build your child's confidence for the first day of school and beyond:​
​
👋 Wave Goodbye to Summer: Enjoy an end-of-summer picnic and a first day back at school breakfast with your family.​
​
🙂 Keep it Positive: Your attitude makes a huge difference when it comes to building excitement about the school year. Talk to your child about all the fun they'll have and how they'll get to see their school friends soon. ​
​
🍎 Practice Healthy Habits: Schedules tend to get off track in the summer, so it's important to reestablish your child's normal sleeping and eating schedules. The transition will be easier for both of you when your little one is well-rested and feeling good. ​
​
🗓️ Make a Paper Chain: Starting in the final days of summer, create a paper chain with every "link" representing one day. Have your child draw what happened that day on each link. When the first month of school is over, you'll have a fun memory craft to decorate with. ​
​
📚 Read Together: Reading books about heading back to school is a fun way to get your child excited while helping strengthen their early literacy skills. ​
​
Share these tips with a friend who is looking for "back-to-school" advice for their 0-5-year-old!

Starting a new school year can be full of adorable insights from children! We'd love to hear about the funny, cute and sometimes ridiculous things your child has said about school.

Congratulations to our June Family of the Month... THE BAILEY FAMILY! We are so proud to have you as part of our Swift Creek Family. 💕
"Our family has roots in Tennessee, Texas, and Massachusetts. We moved from Northern Virginia to this community in 2020 and have loved every moment since. We love exploring the world together, whether it’s trips to the zoo, sunny days at the beach, afternoons at the playground, or riding bikes on the patio. Evenings are filled with reading books before bed and being silly, bringing laughter and love into our home. Vivienne, Poppy, and June bring energy and happiness to our lives. We treasure our time spent playing, learning, and enjoying each other’s company, creating strong family bonds. Primrose School has been a cornerstone for our children’s growth. We are incredibly grateful to the dedicated teachers who guide them each day with creativity, kindness, and commitment."
