First Day of Preschool

The first day of school started off by mingling with simple centers and getting used to a new environment. Something simple as knowing where the bathroom is located at is very important to preschool. We spent this day focusing on procedures, rules, and routines so that future preschool days can run smoothly and become more enjoyable for all.
