Kindergarten Transition: Developmental Milestone
Early childhood educators play an important role in the lives of pre-kindergarten children and their families as they help them move on to kindergarten. Starting Point invites you to hear specific information about the CMSD’s approach to kindergarten. Please attend this forum to gain valuable information to share with families and to better prepare the children in your care for what to expect in kindergarten.

We know:

-Transition is a change that involves a process of adjustment. The move from preschool to kindergarten is one of the most significant changes in a child’s life and the life of the family.

-Transition can cause stress and anxiety for the pre-kindergarten child and parents.

-Learning about what is expected in kindergarten and how to register lowers anxiety and stress while paving the way for a more positive start to the new experience.]

-A smooth transition to kindergarten depends on good communication between early childhood professionals, parents, and primary school professionals.

-Children’s success in school can be linked, in part, to effective transition practices and activities. Supportive transition practices encourage children to like school and look forward to attending.

-When parents are supported, they are more likely to become actively involved in their children’s education. When parents are involved in their children’s learning, the children have a higher chance of succeeding in school and developing a love of learning.

Be a part of a positive, supportive transition process for your pre-kindergarten children by attending the March into Kindergarten Forum on April 3, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.
Representatives from CMSD will respond to your questions.
Please RSVP by March 27, 2018 with the information provided on the attached flyer.
