Transition Documents (Transition to School)

"Starting school is a major transition in a child's life involving separation from familiar adults and children. By the time they are ready to start school, children have a more secure understanding of 'people permanence' and are consequently able to approach new experiences with some self-assurance. However, they will need preparation if they are going to be able to approach the transition to school with confidence."
