Settling into the Nursery is a moment of connection. We sense joy, curiosity, fear, and the longing to be part of this small "world" created specifically for children, fostering their physical and emotional growth.
The meeting with the educator.
The parents, along with their children, enter this enviroment for the first time, which will soon become a familiar space.
They will explore an environment different from home, unknown, but over time it will become your children's "Nursery".
When searching for a nursery, you should consider all aspects that convey care, love, attention, and personality. The place where children's well-being comes first is essential for creating the right educational connection.
The nursery is an ideal space for children and parents to learn, communicate, and grow together in a nurturing and supportive environment.
It is through collaboration between children and educators that the reference section and spaces within the structure will be organized and designed to meet the needs of individual children and groups, stimulating their natural development and autonomy.
The first meeting.
The first meeting brings a mix of emotions and expectations. The long-awaited and feared separation from your baby is about to happen, and there are many feelings involved. There's a desire to be a good parent, and all the information collected in the previous months suggests how to approach this moment. The instructions learned are all in the mind, carefully reviewed step by step, along with the various behaviors to be proposed, so as not to make any mistakes.
It is through living in the present moment that we realize there are no exact rules or specific methods. Instead, the educators and the entire educational team will use their observation and experience to guide parents and their children during these settling-in days. Collaboration and communication will be essential for a peaceful path, supporting the children's needs and emotions.
How to deal with the setting in the Nursery?
Communication between educators and parents is essential for building trust, providing reassurance, and keeping children in a cosy enviroment. Parents can share details about their child's daily routine, habits, and specific needs with the educator. This dialogue helps the educator to understand the child better and begin to establish a relationship based on trust and understanding.
During the settling-in period, there are a lot of emotions. Fears, guilt, anxiety, and frustration are just as much a part of this process as joy, understanding, and tenderness. All these feelings contribute to growth and change in the child's development, as well as in the relationship between parents and children.
Discussing this aspect with your educator will also help her better lead this sensitive phase with the right empathy and professionalism.
Parents can share their experiences, emotions, doubts, and concerns with the educator to have discussions, find comfort, seek advice, and receive support in building a strong educational relationship with their children. When children are settling in, the educator pay attention on their well-being as well as the peace of mind of their parents.
Settling in is the process in which a child integrates into a group and becomes an essential part, forming connections and emotional bonds, with the support of an adult.
Over time, the nursery will become part of the daily routine, providing a safe environment for families and their children. It is an ideal educational setting where children can grow, gain experience, and share moments, objectives, and goals with love and attention through pedagogical knowledge.
