You do not have to worry about young children and their parents eventually getting used to their new preschool routine according to Karen Corekin-De La Mer from the Northern Door Children’s Center in Sister Bay.  According to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, 4K enrollment statewide has been climbing since 2016, which also means more kids leaving a home care setting for the first time. If there are a few tears shed on the playground or sad faces when you drop them off, Corekin-De La Mer says to not fret too much about it.

Corekin- De La Mer advises parents to ask their children specific questions about their day and not to be afraid to drop the teacher a message every now and then to see how they are doing.
