About Me Photo Book

Document Type:

The About Me Photo Book is a comforting, child-centered resource designed to ease the transition into dayhome care. This editable Canva template gives parents the freedom to personalize every page—adding photos of family members, writing custom captions, and choosing colors or fonts that suit their child’s personality.

Inside, you’ll find thoughtfully designed pages with space to add:

  • Photos of parents, siblings, pets, and other loved ones

  • A favourite toy, bedtime routine, or family traditions

  • Fun prompts like “When I feel sad, I like to…” or “My favourite thing to do is…”

Once customized, the photo book can be printed and sent along with the child to keep in their cubby or backpack. It becomes a meaningful tool to support emotional well-being, provide comfort during the day, and help build security and trust in a new care environment.

Perfect for dayhome providers to recommend or include in welcome packages!
