Rewind: Choosing the Right Daycare and Tips for Transitioning with Elise Disher
This week we're speaking with with Elise Disher, M. Ed all about choosing the right daycare and how to transition your child in as seamlessly as possible. Childcare is such an important topic for parents and we know it can be fraught with worry! Here's what Rachael and Elise discuss inside the episode:
Why building relationships and attachment with staff is crucial during the transition into daycare or preschool
The benefits of a tailored and gradual approach to separation vs. "drop and go"
How parents can advocate for more involvement in the early learning environment and create familiarity for their child
Do children actually need daycare or preschool for socialization or social skills development in the first three years?
Quality early learning environments- what should they be prioritizing and what should parents look for and ask about when touring?
What parents should be focusing on during challenging behaviors
and much more!
Elise's work is all about promoting relationship-focused, attachment-based practices in early childhood settings. She consults with educators to help them implement these approaches and facilitate the Circle of Security program for both educators and families. She also supports families through key transitions into early childhood settings and provides guidance on navigating behavioral challenges. She is a mom to two little ones, aged 5 and 1, and brings over 18 years of experience working in the early childhood profession as an educator, teacher, director, and consultant. She holds a Master of Education and is a certified Circle of Security facilitator as well as a holistic sleep and wellbeing coach.
Her goal is to help build strong, secure connections between children and the adults in their lives, offering the support needed to thrive through the many stages of early childhood.
