Happy children at Happy Totos Modern Daycare

Preparing for Your Child’s First Day

Starting daycare is a big step for children and parents alike. Here are a few simple ways to make your child’s first days at Happy Totos happy and smooth.

Visit before you start

We warmly encourage a visit with your child before their first day, so they can meet our caregivers and get to know their new space. Just speak to our team to arrange a time.

What to bring

  • A change of clothes
  • Diapers or pull-ups, wipes and tissue
  • For infants: labelled bottles and prepared formula
  • A comfort item or blanket for nap time (optional)
  • Your child’s up-to-date immunization records (for enrolment)

Easing goodbyes

Some children feel anxious when it is time to say goodbye – and that is completely normal. We find it helps to keep goodbyes short and loving: settle your child’s things, give a hug and a kiss, and let them know you will be back. Our caregivers will comfort and support your child through the settling-in period.

We are here for you

Please share anything that helps us care for your child – routines, likes, allergies or special instructions. Working together, we will help your little one feel right at home.
