The First Day Guide
Getting Ready for PALC
What to bring, what to expect, and how to make your child’s first days feel safe and smooth.
The Essentials
These are the small things that make a big difference — clothes to play in, shoes to explore in, and a few comforts from home.Each item helps your child feel safe, independent, and ready for a day full of discovery.
Comfortable clothes
Easy to move, play, and nap in — think layers, soft fabrics, and nothing too precious.

Accidents happen — an extra set helps your child stay comfy.

A place for personal treasures or favorite items to bring from home.

Before the First Day
The best preparation is gentle and gradual. Talk about Bobolobo as a friendly, fun place. Visit together if possible.Let your child pack their own backpack — even a small task builds confidence.
