Parents’ Guide

Everything you need to know about your child’s journey with us, from the first day to everyday routines.

At IFL Montessori, we believe home and school work hand-in-hand. These simple guidelines will help your child settle quickly, stay safe, and enjoy every day of learning.

First Day of School (Pre-Montessori Parents)

Be prepared, settling in takes time, and it’s perfectly normal.
Toilet training and eating habits develop gradually; our teachers will guide your child patiently.
Consistency matters, bring your child to school every day to help them adjust faster.
Children may fall sick during the first few weeks as they adapt to the new environment.
Say goodbye at the school gate and leave promptly to build your child’s confidence.
Avoid multiple goodbyes; it can make separation more difficult for your child.
