Back-to-school season is a big transition for many children, especially those who thrive on structure and routine. Preparing ahead can make a meaningful difference in setting them up for success. Here are a few strategies that families often find helpful:

✨Practice morning and after-school routines before the first day so the flow feels familiar.

✨Rehearse important skills such as asking a teacher for help, packing and unpacking the backpack, or opening lunch containers.

✨Visit the school building, walk through key transitions, or listen to recordings of school sounds to reduce uncertainty.

✨Refresh your child’s motivators—interests and reinforcers can shift over the summer, and having updated ones helps maintain engagement.

✨Plan a calming after-school ritual, whether it’s quiet time, sensory play, or a favorite activity, to support the transition from school to home.

Every child’s back-to-school journey is unique. With patience, preparation, and the right supports, small steps can build confidence and independence.

Employee of the Month Spotlight: Mishika!

We are excited to shine the spotlight on Mishika, one of our amazing ABA therapists. This September marks 2 years since Mishika joined the Momentum team and began working in the field of ABA. With a diploma in Autism and Behavioural Science from Mohawk College she brings both expertise and heart to her role every day.

Mishika’s favourite part of her work is seeing meaningful, measurable progress in people’s lives and helping them build valuable skills. She finds it incredibly rewarding to make a real, lasting impact. Outside of work, Mishika loves to travel and explore new places, experiencing different cultures and perspectives — and enjoys spending time reading.

We’re so thankful for the dedication, positivity, and passion Mishika brings to our team every day!

Say hello to Marnie, our amazing Centre Coordinator here at Momentum!

Marnie has been with us for 2 years and brings a wealth of knowledge from her background in Early Childhood Education. Her favourite part of her job is that she finds it the perfect balance of being around the children and families, while also working on the tasks needed to help run the centre!

When she’s not working, Marnie enjoys crocheting, reading, and spending quality time with her husband and family. An interesting fact about Marnie? She’s one of 11 siblings! And yes, she’s number 10, with her twin brother being #11!
