Description
Chapter 18 discusses the ways in which children and families make early years transitions, for example, transitions to and within childcare, preschool, school, and school-age care, and how these transitions can be supported by educators are issues explored in this chapter. Early years transitions have been conceptualised in this chapter as an ongoing process, requiring continuity and change occurring within social and cultural contexts. The issue of how children and families can be supported while making transitions, and how critical collaborative relationships are during transitions is made in the light of evidence-informed practice.
