Last year we split them up 2 and 2, and my "mommy" child was very concerned about it. She is the child that needs to check on everyone, and make sure they are all okay. If some of them are playing in another room, every now and then she will stop what she is doing and just go check on them. Anyway, we talked with the 2 teachers and the principal and it was agreed that in the beginning she would be allowed to check up on her siblings if she needed to. She only did it a few times and was fine. They have recess together, so she was able to play with them then or just check in with them if she needed to.

I think the fact that she knew she had permission to check on them really helped. They also see each other in the halls going to the bathroom or going to activities. Will they be having lunch together or recess? If they do, mention that to her.

I would def. talk to her teacher, if not both, and maybe make some kind of arrangement to ease the separation.
