transitions

[sarablatif]

hi i am a student doing my final degree in early childhood studies. As part of my degree I have to do a dissertation project. my project is on transitions from preschool to reception and how staff help children and their families prepare for this.

if anyone can provide me with any information I will be very grateful. :)

TBH a more informative thread title and using the Primary board would get you more responses

I agree with Talkin - I'd start again (either in 'Pre-School' or in Primary) and put more info in the title, as 'transition' is one of the most overused words in Early years education at the moment and can mean lots of things to lots of people.

It's also a bit vague - what do you want people to tell you ?
Lists of things that happen ?

So....

home visits
days when they visit the school
Primary staff visiting the nursery / playgroup
Nursery / Pre-school /Playgroup staff meeting with Primary school staff
transition photo books (for children with additional needs)
additional visits / visit to building when dc aren't there (for children with additional needs)
School information booklets
Staggered starts
Starting with shorter days
