Preschool/Kindergarten Transition Plan Project Description:

To meet the needs identified through the Children Learning Initiative, a School Readiness Transition Plan will be written for each participating elementary school in the county, facilitated by a Kindergarten Lead and an ECE Lead. The plan will include transition activities for children between the ages of 0-5 years, with at least one elementary school in each district offering a family literacy program for children ages 0-3 years.
