Help your child get ready for school or with separation anxiety by listening to 'The Kissing Hand' written by Audrey Penn & read by Barbara Bain at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPUW1t9Gu4s.
If your child is already in preschool, make sure you ask them what they learned each day! This helps develop a secure attachment with your child and increases their vocabulary.
If you have a child turning 3 or 4 years old before September 1st, you can sign them up for free or tuition-based preschool by filling out a form at hmgallegan.org or calling 269-512-7775.
You can help prepare your child for preschool by reading these amazing books with them before the fall. You will receive free books about preschool at our local playgroups this month too!
