Transitions in the early years

PublishingPageContent

Moving into a new environment is a time of change and adaption for children, their families, educators and teachers. Often referred to as a transition, this time of change provides opportunities to be responsive to children and families as they move into, between and beyond early learning environments.

Transition is not just about the first day. It is a process that happens over time and continues until children form relationships, learn new routines and feel a sense of connection and belonging in the new setting.

Positive transitions across early childhood have long-lasting benefits and help lay the foundation for future learning success.

Together, let’s make the big moves smaller.
