School Transition

When children are supported in their transitions between early childhood settings and from early childhood into kindergarten, they experience less stress and are more likely to thrive in their new learning environment. First Steps supports school transitions by promoting strong relationships and mutual understanding among parents, early educators, and kindergarten teachers.
