What Does Our Guidance Service Do?
The preschool years are an important period when children’s social world expands beyond the family. Our Guidance Service works with teachers and families to support adjustment to school, self-awareness, emotional expression and healthy social relationships.
Family & Community
Helps children recognize roles and responsibilities within family and society and develop a respectful, democratic attitude.
Self-Acceptance
Supports a positive self-image, awareness of strengths and recognition of individual differences.
Self-Expression
Provides safe opportunities to express wishes, feelings and thoughts appropriately.
Individual Planning
Observation, individual meetings and referrals are planned according to developmental needs.
Family Meetings
Children’s development is followed regularly through observation forms, developmental reviews and family meetings.
How Families Can Support School Adjustment
When starting school, children may react differently to separation, a new environment and new routines. A calm, consistent and reassuring family approach makes adjustment easier.
- Use positive and realistic language about school.
- Keep goodbyes short, clear and consistent.
- Acknowledge your child’s feelings; do not dismiss their anxiety.
- Stay in regular contact with the teacher and Guidance Service.
- Remember that the adjustment process is different for every child.
Parent Education
As part of our guidance work, families receive informational meetings, individual consultations and parent-support content tailored to their needs throughout the year.
