Transitioning from early childhood services into school can be challenging for children and families. Early childhood and school teachers, educators and leaders play a crucial role in setting children up for success.
Evidence shows that when early education and school-based professionals work together to build strong partnerships, based on understanding each other’s pedagogy and curriculum, children experience a positive start to school and are more likely to be set up for lifelong success. Genuine partnerships between early childhood services and schools also help to support children to experience continuity of learning and for families to feel supported and valued.
These resources help early childhood and school teachers, educators and leaders to implement high-quality transition practices.
