Transition to Kindergarten

Smooth transitions from pre-kindergarten to kindergarten are a result of connections between schools and families, and between pre-kindergarten and kindergarten teachers and classrooms.

Be sure to check out our resources on Transitions. We will be growing this section in the new few months, providing examples of best practices and resources to help local programs.
