Safe Disconnection Program

🧸🧡 Safe Separation Program from Mother - for New Children at Kids Square - for a Week:

The Safe Separation Program aims to facilitate a child's transition from the home environment to the kindergarten environment in a gradual, safe, and reassuring manner, taking into account the child's feelings and psychological and emotional needs.

🎯 Program objectives

• Building a sense of security and confidence in the child within the kindergarten.

• Facilitate adaptation to the new parameters and location.

• Reducing excessive attachment to the mother in a positive and gentle way.

• Gradually involve the mother in the separation process without sudden shock.

🟠 The first day

• The child stays in the classroom for an hour, and the mother is with him the whole time.

• The goal is to give the child a sense of security, and to get to know the place, teachers and classmates without any tension.

• Light activities such as a walk around the classroom and playing in the corner are provided, with the mother present as a supportive and reassuring element.

🟡 The second day

• The duration of the stay increases to an hour and a half, and the mother remains inside the classroom but sits in a somewhat distant corner without direct interaction.

• In this way, the child begins to depend on himself while maintaining a sense of security.

• A simple art activity and an engaging interactive story are provided.

🟢 The third day

• The child stays for two hours, and the mother moves out of the classroom but remains inside the nursery building.

• The goal is to foster the child's sense of confidence and independence, while ensuring access to the mother when needed.

• Activities are more varied and encourage self-interaction.

🔵 The fourth day

• The child remains in the classroom for three hours without the mother being present.

• Participates in group activities such as playing with friends, learning corners, and snack time.

• On this day, the child’s behavior and natural response to the mother’s absence are observed.

🟣 The fifth day

• This day is treated as the first actual day of complete separation.

• The educational and recreational program continues as normal, and the child is given the opportunity to experience complete independence with confidence.

• His achievement is celebrated and he is given a simple token of encouragement such as a sticker, crown, or small certificate.

🌈 Activities accompanying the program

• 🧸 Farewell Corner: A designated place where the child says goodbye to his mother every morning in a calm and supportive manner.

• 🎁 Safety bag: The child is allowed to bring a beloved item from home, such as a pillow or a soft toy.

• 📸 Family photos: Display a photo of the mother or family in a special corner inside the classroom to make him feel safe.

• 🗣️ Reassuring words from the teacher: Words like “Mama is waiting for you, we will play now and then you can go to her in a little while.”

• 🎨 Art activity to express feelings: such as free drawing about “How do you feel today?”

• 🎶 Special nursery rhymes: such as “My Nursery is Beautiful” and “My Friends.”

🧠 The role of the teacher in the program

• Use a calm and reassuring tone of voice.

• Do not force the child to integrate quickly.

• Allow natural crying and help him calm down.

• Continuous communication with the mother about the child’s feelings and daily development.
