SETTLING IN AT KIDSatLAKE

We are aware of the fact that it is a great step for you as parents to place your child in a child care facility.

You hand over part of your daily responsibility and your child spends a great part of the day not with you anymore, but in our facility.

If you decide on childcare in a nursery, important points need to be considered and clarified:

• Which nursery is best suited for you and your child and corresponds to the individual needs?
• What do the different care facilities offer?
• What are the differences and what to you expect of the facility and the care givers?

The settling-in phase in the crèche is crucial for the further course of childcare outside the family. We work on the basis of the Berlin settling-in model; the child should arrive at our nursery in a needs-oriented manner and at its own individual pace.

The settling-in phase takes different lengths of time depending on the child’s age and stage of development and each child is given the time they need. Some children settle in after just a few days, others need several weeks.

During the settling-in phase, we work closely with you as parents. You know your child best and may have been the only caregiver so far.

We want to make the settling-in period as pleasant as possible for your child, but also for you as parents. It is important to us that everyone involved feels comfortable with the pace and organization of the settling-in process.

We are always available to answer your questions, requests and concerns. Open communication is the basis for good cooperation.
