Support children through the big milestones, special moments and heartfelt goodbyes that happen throughout the year.
 
The Transitions and Special Moments Pack has been created to help educators celebrate each child’s learning journey with editable pages, certificates, poems, transition activities and summative assessment support. It is perfect for adding to the end of children’s learning journals, creating keepsakes for families, supporting room-to-room transitions, preparing children for school, celebrating graduation or saying goodbye when a child leaves your service.
 
This pack includes practical transition activities designed to help children feel safe, secure and supported as they move into a new room or prepare for their next learning adventure. The transition activities support children to express feelings, build relationships, explore new environments, develop confidence and create a sense of belonging during change.
