How to Customize Your School Brochures & Kindergarten Transition Materials

The transition from preschool or day care to kindergarten can be a challenging time for many children and parents alike. Help to ease the stress of this important educational step by providing a brochure or other printed materials. While there is a vast array of early childhood research available to education professionals, some of these studies may be more than the typical parent can handle. Instead, your school can provide parents basic information on signs that a child is ready for kindergarten. You can inform them of an appropriate program for their child and alert them to the expectations that kindergarten teachers and schools will have. You can customize this with information specific to your geographic area and school district.
