Mia Goes To Leikskóli (Nursery, Kindergarten)

We did it, Mia is now a fully integrated, excited, and happy little nursery girl. She did us proud and made starting at Leikskóli (nursery here in Iceland) so easy. We took each day as it went, spoke to her about it so she knew what to expect, and got excited with her. Sure, leaving her there felt odd but I knew she was in good hands and would have so much fun.

It was a week of integration. The first day we went for an hour or so, then we slowly built on it until Mia and her teacher were happy. The plan was set out but Mia was happily feeling at home so they told me to go off for a coffee and pick her up in an hour - way before I was ready.

I got some ‘me time’ and tied up the house (as you do), went for a wander around the local charity shop and got started on my big long to-do list. Before I knew it, it was home time and I was picking up a very tired and over-excited little Mia.

wow, they grow up fast!! Now she runs there, waving bye and off to play with her new friends. Well done Mia.
