The Journey to kindergarten is one of the major milestones in a child’s life. This new and exciting experience can be intimidating to both the child and parent/guardian. Planning and preparing for kindergarten early on, will create a smooth transitioning process.

The Kindergarten Transitions program provides kindergarten readiness and transition activities that will increase teacher knowledge and strengthen the transition process across grades as teachers share knowledge through professional development. This program also provides information, materials and training to parents of pre-k children who have not been served by formal child care/pre-k programs.

The Office of Early Learning has created a newsletter to support kindergarten teachers as they make data-driven and research-informed decisions in the classroom to support continued development and learning for all children.
