The Preschool-to-Kindergarten Transition
You are here
The transition between preschool and kindergarten is an important one, for children and families as well as educators and early learning programs. This issue includes stories of how educators create strong bridges before, during, and after the transition into kindergarten. Authors share how they are responsive to children and families in their contexts, and they describe how these ideas can be applied to settings like yours.
