This course equips educators with practical knowledge and strategies to support children in making a smooth, confident and positive shift from preschool to Primary One. Learners will explore the key elements of transition planning aligned with Singapore’s early childhood education framework, including the social-emotional, physical and academic aspects of school readiness.
