Kindergarten Transition 2019 Parent Information Night

The Early Learner Learning is fun. We learn best when we are relaxed and happy. Transition activities are designed to link preschool to school by using the concepts of play and student directed learning. The environment is familiar to the students in order to make them feel comfortable and relaxed. NOTE: To change images on this slide, select a picture and delete it.
