An important part of a community is that it is there for support during major life changes. At CNS, we are a community. There are a number of ways we come together to support families as they encounter challenging times, organized by The Board.
Major life changes may include:
Change in school or care provider
Moving towns or houses
Divorce
Loss of a loved one
New siblings
A parent or guardian starting a new job
From meal trains to stepping up to cover your parent helper or work party obligations, there are many options available for the community to support you. Please email theboard@guilfordcns.org. You can request that your situation remain confidential or provide what you would like to share with the community.
It’s not uncommon for children to exhibit new behaviors while processing changes to their lives and routines. Toddlers are experiencing many life changes for the first time and are trying to understand how changes will impact their daily routines while also struggling to learn the life skill of emotional regulation.
If there is something that might be affecting your toddler at home or at school, we encourage you to reach out to your teacher or the Director through BrightWheel. Communications through BrightWheel are visible only to your child’s teacher and the director.
Your child’s teacher can work with you to make sure your individual situation is taken into account. Knowing what your child may be processing can also help teachers navigate classroom behavior.
