How do I make it as easy as possible for my child to transition to Educademy?

You are encouraged to visit Educademy with your child as often as you can before your child starts. You and your family will meet all the staff and we will do everything we can to make your child’s transition to child care a positive experience. Please note that every child is different, some children integrate quickly, while others will take a few weeks.

What do I need to bring on my child’s first day?

We recommend that your child always has a change of clothes in their backpack. A pair of indoor shoes, water bottle, and emergency medication, if applicable. If your child needs diapers we recommend bringing a whole pack. Please label all items with your child's first name.

Will you give my child medication if required?

Yes, we will. The medication must be in the original bottle or package, labeled with child's name, dosage, time etc. If your child may need emergency treatment such as an Epi-pen or inhaler, please provide a doctor’s note that we can keep in your child's file.
