Chapter 14: Getting Ready for Child-care and School

In some communities, there are places where young children are cared for while their families work. They are often called nursery schools, day-care centers, child-care centers, preschools, or creches. A child who is blind or cannot see well can go to a child-care center with other children. And when your child is old enough, she should attend school like other children her age. In order to make these experiences fun and successful, you can:

• help your child prepare for child-care or school
• help the child-care center or school teacher prepare for your child

Helping your child prepare for child-care and school

To learn to play with groups of children

If your child has experience playing with friends before she starts school, she will find it easier to make new friends once she is in school.
