DAMChats 23) Our school preparations for our nearly school-age goers

Welcome to Part 2 of our deep dive into the school process for our little ones starting in September. In Part 1, we talked about how we navigated the school search, dealt with the lottery system, and received our acceptance letters. Now, in this episode, we shift focus to what happens after the acceptance letter—what comes next in preparing for the big school transition.

Eva and Maren share their personal, contrasting experiences as they embark on this next phase of the journey. From multiple meetings and exploring the school with their daughter, to a more streamlined process with just one meeting and a trial day, this episode reveals the different approaches and gives you insight into what to expect as you prepare for your child’s school experience.

Key Takeaways:

  • What to expect after receiving the school acceptance letter.

  • The differences in school preparation processes (meetings, trial days, etc.).

  • Questions to ask when visiting the school—things Eva and Maren wish they had asked.

  • Practical advice for getting your child ready for their first day at school.

This episode will help ensure that you’re fully prepared with the right questions and knowledge for your child’s upcoming school journey—whether it’s through trial days or one-on-one meetings.

If you’re wondering what to expect next after that acceptance letter, this episode is for you!
