Creating a Family at School

Starting school can be scary for kids and parents because your child will be surrounded by people they don’t know - yet.

Making connections with others is important for social emotional development and independence. In Head Start, we tell students our class is a school family and we are all important members of that family.

Our Class is a Family by Shannon Olsen and Sandie Sonke demonstrates things that may be similar to or different than our home families. Creating connections and friendships is a big goal for preschool.
