Saying goodbye to her best friends in preschool is never easy. So, make your kid’s last months in K2 meaningful.
It’s time for your six-year-old to bid farewell to her teachers and friends in preschool as she prepares to start Primary 1. As they’ve been classmates together for four years, she is understandably tearful at having to make new friends all over again.
