Transition refers to the totality of experiences and opportunities a child encounters in moving from one program or setting to another. Opportunities and experiences that familiarize children and families with new settings, expectations and relationships can help make connections that ease adjustments.
When transitions are effective they provide the supports children need to make these adjustments. When children make successful transitions they:
Enjoy school and look forward to going
Show steady growth in academic and social skills
Have families who are more actively engaged in their learning (Howard, 2010)
