520 |a The Kindergarten Transition Project at the National Center for Early Development and Learning (NCEDL) has developed a school-based approach designed to enhance connections among children, families, teachers, and peers during the transition to kindergarten. This report excerpts from a paper describing this approach to ease transition. The paper describes how the program was developed and delineates program activities for strengthening family-school connections, child-school connections, peer connections, and program connections. Suggestions for family-school connections include organizing an informal dinner with parents and kindergarten teachers in conjunction with school open houses or back-to-school nights. Suggestions for child-school connections include providing opportunities for children to interact directly with their anticipated kindergarten teachers. Suggestions for peer connections include identifying a current kindergartner to serve as a "buddy" to a preschooler. One suggestion for enhancing program connections is to arrange discussions between preschool and kindergarten personnel about classroom practices and specific needs of individual children. (KB)
