Before the start of the settling-in period, the parents inform the responsible teacher about their child’s preferences, habits and individual routines (e.g. interests and eating habits, allergies, etc.). Before the child starts we will inform the families what they will need and together, with the parents, we will decide about the starting day, time and duration.
We are guided by a familiarization model, but still try to coordinate this phase individually with each family.
It is important to us that one of the parents accompanies the child during this phase, usually the first weeks.
Usually we consider a child as settled after approx. 4-6 weeks, even if this is a process that is not completed by a certain point in time.
