Transition to Kindergarten

Making the Transition to Kindergarten

Starting kindergarten is a milestone in your child’s life. Is your child curious about what it will be like?

Home E Children/Youth/Families E Early Childhood Programs E Parent/Child Programs (CFCE) E Transition to Kindergarten

We have put together a booklet with information, tips, picture book recommendations and activities for you and your child to do together to help make the transition to kindergarten a positive experience.

There are many simple things you can do to help prepare your child, and you’re probably already doing a lot of them. Having conversations with your child, writing shopping lists, counting out apples at the grocery store, reading together every day, having play dates and encouraging exploration will help lay the foundation for a lifelong successful school experience.
