A child experiences many transitions while in child care – not just moving from one activity to another, but also moving into and out of groups and programs. This lesson looks at the different transitions a child may experience such as enrolling in a new child care program, moving to a new room in an existing child care program or leaving a program. Learn how practitioners can support children during these transitions. (1 hour)
