What to Expect:
|
|
Going off to school is a very exciting time for both students and parents. It's very natural to be a bit anxious & nervous about a new environment, new teachers, and new friends.
The YMCA counselors are very aware of this "first day anxiety" and will help your child adapt to the new surroundings through encouragement, moral support, and friendship. YOU can also help by reassuring your child that we are their friends and we are there to help and HAVE FUN!
Allow us to help, and we're sure your child will be feeling comfortable in a short amount of time.
