Orientation

Kidstogether® recognizes that leaving a child for the first time can cause separation anxiety for both the family and the child. Kidstogether® aims to make this time as comfortable and positive for all involved and strongly encourages all families to participate in the Kidstogether® orientation process as children need to feel safe and comfortable in their surroundings prior to the commencement of formal attendance according to Kidstogether® policies. Kidstogether® offers each family two one hour complimentary orientation visits if necessary according to the classes and programs that kids enroll. These are a great opportunity for parents, family members and the child to become comfortable and better acquainted with the child care service educators and routines.
