Can I meet my child's teachers before starting childcare?

Yes. Meeting your child's teachers before they start childcare can help build familiarity, trust and confidence for both you and your child. Early introductions also give families an opportunity to share important information about their child's routines, preferences and care needs.

Getting to know teachers before the first day can make the transition into childcare feel more comfortable. These early conversations help establish clear communication and give parents the chance to ask questions about daily routines, care practices and settling processes.

At BestStart, we encourage families to meet teachers during centre visits and settling sessions before their child's official start date. These visits help children become familiar with their new environment and support strong relationships between families and teachers from the beginning.
