Beginning day care in Warrington, PA, is a big and beautiful milestone, for your child and for you. It marks the start of new routines, new friendships, and new opportunities to learn and grow. At Celebree School of Warrington, we understand the mix of excitement and emotion that comes with this next chapter.

Our goal is to make every family’s experience a joyful one. Celebree is more than just a place where your child spends the day. It’s a community that cares deeply about your child’s well-being, curiosity, and confidence. From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll find a nurturing environment designed to help children thrive in every way: socially, emotionally, and academically.

Helping Your Child Adjust Emotionally

Every child experiences new beginnings differently. Some can’t wait to explore, while others may need time to warm up. The good news? With patience, consistency, and gentle support, most children adjust beautifully.

Here’s how you can help prepare for that first big step:

  • Speak positively about school. Talk about all the fun things your child will do: making friends, playing outside, reading stories, and exploring art.
  • Acknowledge their feelings. It’s okay for your child to feel a little nervous. Empathize with their emotions and remind them you’ll be back soon.
  • Practice routines early. Begin adjusting bedtime and morning schedules a week or two before the first day so the transition feels smoother.
  • Build familiarity. Visit Celebree School of Warrington together before your child’s first day. Seeing their classroom and meeting their teachers helps create comfort and excitement.

At Celebree, we know that a child’s sense of security starts with trust. Our teachers take time to connect with every child, learn their personalities, and help them feel right at home from day one.
