Each school has a unique transition plan so that children and families have an opportunity to meet the educator teams, meet their new friends, and tour their new school.   Contact your school directly or visit their website and/or Facebook page to learn more about school visits, for children transitioning to one of our schools.

Reducing stress for children and families so children feel comfortable and safe to come to school is a priority for us.  It is when children feel safe and secure that they will be excited and ready for learning.
