Starting School: What Parents Need to Know | Season 4 Episode 2
Kindergarten Ready: Tips for Parents and Educators
Starting Kindergarten is a huge milestone for families! In this emotional and insightful episode of The Educational Currency Podcast, join Rob and Chris, both parents with children heading into 'Big School' shortly, as they share their personal journeys and practical advice.
Whether you are a first-time parent navigating the Kindy countdown or an experienced one preparing another (or final) child, this episode is packed with value. We discuss:
When to Start: Understanding your child's readiness – mentally, physically, and emotionally – and the crucial role of preschool in bridging the gap to big school.
Choosing the Right School: What to look for beyond academics, considering school culture, facilities, and ensuring it's the perfect fit for your child.
Practical Preparations: From mastering lining up to packing the ever-evolving lunchbox (hello, bento boxes!), get tips to prepare your child for school routines.
Navigating Logistics: Essential advice for working parents on managing school drop-offs and pick-ups, including exploring after-school care and 'kiss and ride' options.
Building School Connections: Learn the importance of getting to know your school's staff, from teachers and assistant principals to the invaluable office ladies who truly run the show!
We also share some classic (and hilarious!) stories from our own past, as well as acknowledge the incredible dedication of Kindergarten teachers, especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic.
This episode offers insights for parents preparing their little ones and teachers looking to understand the parent's perspective. Join us for a candid discussion on making the Kindergarten journey a positive one for everyone involved!
