Daily Transitions

Young children experience many changes during their day. Daily transitions in early care and education programs take place during an activity, or when children move from one activity to another or one location to another. Transitions include: * Arriving at or departing from a program. * Exchanging toys, entering or leaving a play area during free choice time. * Cleaning up after morning activities and starting a group circle time. * Getting dressed to go outside to play. * Shifting from playing with friends to working with a teacher/therapist on a particular skill.
