K-Transition: Supporting Children during Kindergarten Transition

**PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CERTIFICATES WILL BE PROVIDED**

Transitions can be challenging. Research on transition identifies both the challenges and opportunities they present for children, families, and educators. This workshop will discuss a major transition of starting kindergarten and how parents/caregivers can best prepare children and themselves to be successful in a new environment such as school. Join us for an informative discussion that will discuss strategies and appropriate activities to ease this transition.
