On families’ first day
When you arrive at the centre, sign your child in and be sure to greet Junting warmly. If your child sees that you have a good relationship with Junting, they’ll be more likely to trust Junting too.

It can be difficult to leave if your child is crying, rest assured that Junting will soothe your child and engage them in entertaining activities to help them settle in.

You’re always welcome to call anytime during the day to check on your child’s wellbeing and progress! You’ll also receive daily updates and photos detailing your child’s learning and development through your phone.

Settling in to child care only takes a few days for some children, while for others it might take longer. Rest assured that Junting will work closely with your family to ensure the process is as smooth and enjoyable as possible!
