Dear Parents,
Welcome to The International Preschool and Kindergarten! We are delighted that your children are here and thank you for entrusting us with them. 
May the 2015-2016 year bring good health, new friends and many wonderful joys of discovery.
Our classrooms present beautifully and the children are busy getting acquainted. They are settling in nicely and the teachers have taken immediate control with skill, love, affection and enthusiasm.
Young children are concerned about ‘growing up’. 
They want to be independent. Yet, they need to feel at times that it is all right to be dependent. They want to go to school and ‘be big’. But growing up is sometimes scary. Starting school is scary. Leaving the security of home is scary; coping with strange adults called ‘teachers’ is scary. Coping with many children and expectations is scary. 
Not being able to always ‘behave’ is scary.
And yes, it is sometimes scary for parents to let their children go. We take this into consideration when we gently and supportively ease your children into the school. When we plan our curriculum, we are sure to include discussions, stories and songs around the beginning of new things. If separation is hard for you, as a parent, just let us know and we’ll give you the support you need.
