Did you know? Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school – and themselves. Start
building this habit in preschool so they learn right away that going to school on time, every day is important. Eventually, good attendance will be a skill that will help them succeed in high school, college and their career.

Here are a few simple things you can do to build this habit: 

1. Set a regular bedtime and morning routine.
2. Try to schedule medical appointments and extended vacations when school is not in session.
3. If your child is anxious about going to school, talk to teachers, school counselors, and other parents for advice on how to make your child feel comfortable.
