At Moro Mou, it's very important to me to help create a strong, connected community of families who feel comfortable and empowered in the education of their children. To this end, I have developed some approaches to bring all the members of our school community together in a meaningful way.
Home visits
Before each child's first day, the family and I will schedule one to three times for me to visit them in their home in order to meet the child, become acquainted with the family culture, and begin to develop a personal relationship between myself and the entire family. I've found that these home visits help make the transition into the nursery or school environment much smoother and more comfortable for everyone!
Transitional days
In addition to the home visits, I also welcome children and families to take their time slowly transitioning into full-time nursery or school days. Transitional days are days prior to the official start date where the child spends half the day or less at Moro Mou, with or without an adult family member. Transitional days can also occur on the weekend, if you prefer! These days can help the child become accustomed to their new nursery or school environment at a pace that is comfortable for them and their family. Transitional days typically occur the week before the child’s official start date, and consist of one to five days.
