Families with kindergarten-bound children for the 2021-2022 school year joined principal Anneliese Johnson and vice principal Samantha Peterson for a webinar on Kindergarten Readiness and Transition. They covered a range of information about kindergarten readiness, as well as insights and tips they’ve learned through more than 30 years of combined experience. Topics included:
-
- age eligibility for kindergarten
- how to determine if your child is kindergarten ready
- overview of common screenings
- enrollment process guidance and tips, highlighting specific differences in Franklin County school districts
- what to do at home to help support your child’s transition to kindergarten, based on research-based practices
- Columbus City School registration and School Choice information
TAKE A DEEPER DIVE: Our partners at the Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy published a white paper outlining new research on children’s transition to kindergarten. The paper explores the transition as one of the earliest and most important transitions for children. Our researchers examined five areas of transition difficulties, how common difficulties were, and which children were more likely to experience them. Check it out here.
DID YOU KNOW… that the Crane and Schoenbaum Centers have an entire body of work on the transition to kindergarten? From research to practitioner notes to tips for parents, the collective body of work aims to deepen our understanding and better support all children during this important transition. Check out the full body of work here.
