We want to ensure all children, regardless of background, maintain continuity of learning and development as they transition between services and settings in the early years.
Our transitions project aims to:
- build shared understandings of effective transitions for children
- assist early childhood education and care services, schools and education policymakers to use evidence to improve transitions for children, families, teachers and educators.
