Lesson Plan

Transition to Kindergarten Plan

Support a Pre-K child’s move to a new town by familiarizing them with kindergarten routines, identifying feelings, and building confidence through a tailored social story and interactive activities.

Starting kindergarten in a new community can feel scary. This session reduces transition anxiety by making routines predictable, validating feelings, and reinforcing a sense of safety and belonging.
