plan a trip to the school in advance
It's a good idea to visit the school ahead of time while it's in session. Introduce your child to the teacher and allow him some time to observe and explore the room. If it's not possible to visit a class during the day, go to the school premises on a weekend or in the evening. Play on the ground and walk around the campus with prior permission from the authority. This way, the staff will also recognise your child better. You must explain to your kid as to what is going to happen there—story times, learning new things, snacking with friends. You can also click some pictures while taking a walk through the compound. Make a beautiful scrapbook with these pictures and have your toddler go through it time and again. Your child and the elements in and around the school should be the centre stage of the pictures.
