When a child first attends school, there is a great change for that child and for his/her family.
At Atchison Childcare we believe that you, the child’s parents are a most important link in this transition. Parents and Teachers as partners.
The better the bridge between home and school, the better the education: that’s the message from research.
Atchison Centre’s will always talk about starting school in a positive manner that will reinforce a healthy attitude toward the transition. As well as discussing your child’s development with you, we also provide an information session on School Readiness for all parents, as for the physical activity of the children, the use of a playground will be their choice, as this help the children to exercise, as you can see at https://bestplaygroundmarkings.co.uk/5-playground-markings-that-encourage-physical-activity-and-exercise/.
On request from a school, educational records will be made available for the child transferring.
