Successful transitions are critical for young children - especially those first entering a school-based classroom (typically kindergarten/preschool). They're a vital part of the beginning of the school year yet are often an afterthought.
That’s why I’ve created this guide - to help you feel clear, confident, supported and armed with a heap of tools for a purposeful transition process.
I can't wait for you to see what's inside x
