We recently welcomed a new infant to our Celebree School family, and as Mom smiled goodbye, I could tell it was one of those smiles that hides a world of emotion.“He’s so tiny. I don’t know how to just walk away,” she said softly.
I get it. I’ve been that mom too. Some days, I still am.
That very first day of dropping off your baby is one you’ll never forget. Your mind races with a hundred questions: Will they miss me? Will someone notice when they get fussy? Will they be held the way I hold them?
These feelings are completely normal. You’re not just handing over a diaper bag and a blanket, you’re handing over your heart. And that takes incredible courage.
At Celebree School of Bristow, we understand what that first drop-off feels like. It’s not just another morning routine. You’re trusting someone else to care for your baby, to notice their little sighs and smiles, to comfort them the way you would, and we don’t take that lightly.
It may take a few days to feel settled, and that’s perfectly okay. We encourage you to call and check in, ask for updates, and stay connected. We’ll share pictures of your little one’s tummy time adventures or their cozy nap holding their favorite blanket tightly. These little details matter, and we love sharing them with you.
So, if your baby’s first day is coming up, please remember: it’s okay to feel nervous, it’s okay to cry, and it’s okay to call just to make sure they’re okay. The hardest part of parenting is learning to let go a little so your child can grow and at Celebree School of Bristow, we’ll be right here beside you, every step of the way.
Warmly,
Fariha Nadeem, Owner-Operator
