For children, a smooth transition from preschool to kindergarten takes a collective effort from the community that surrounds them. To see successful transitions taking place, schools, instructional staff, families, and the community must plan for success. Familiarizing children with what to expect in kindergarten, through introductions to the kindergarten classroom, teachers, and expectations, can help to minimize any stress associated with the transition.
