Our First Day

Our Storybooks

A personalised storybook designed to support children through their daycare journey, one page at a time.

We offer two personalised versions of our storybook.

My First Day - Daycare Edition

Available to all families. It includes your child’s name, their photo, a family photo, your daycare centre's name (optional), and realistic images of daycare environments.

My First Day - Centre Edition

Available through partnerships with participating centres. It includes your child’s name, their photo, a family photo, your daycare centre's name, and photos of your child's own daycare environment, making the storybook feel even more familiar.

No matter which version, the purpose is the same - to help make your child's daycare experience feel more familiar and predictable.

Designed for every stage - the language throughout our storybook has been carefully designed to support children through every stage of their daycare journey. Whether your child is preparing to start, has just started, or has been attending for months or even years, the story continues to feel relevant, familiar and reassuring.

How social stories can help

Social stories can help young children understand and become familiar with everyday experiences. By seeing themselves in the story and becoming familiar with routines, environments and what they can do, this familiarity can help make their daycare experience feel more predictable and reassuring.
