Before your child goes to school, you can prepare her by playing "pretend". Make a game of it so that she can explore the idea of going to school. You can act out daily routines like saying good-bye to mommy and/or daddy, putting on uniform, singing songs, reading stories and taking naps. You can even rope in the help of her dolls and soft toys to be her classmates. Encourage and reassure your daughter that preschool is a good place where she will have fun, learn and make friends. If she asks questions about preschool, answer her patiently and let her know that she will be going to a safe place :)
