Preparing Your Child for Preschool
By: Annie Chappel

As summer ends and the new school year approaches, millions of children are prepping to go back to school. They recall the fun with friends, lessons, and their teachers’ smiling face. But what about your preschooler who has never been to school before? How do you prepare them for the upcoming school year?

Visit the Preschool
DCDC has opened its doors again for in-person tours. Bring your child on your tour so they can meet the teacher, see the other children playing, and get a feel for the environment. They will feel more at ease on their first day since they have already seen the classroom and met a few peers.
