Collaboration Between Early Childhood and Primary School Teachers in Supporting Children’s Transition

The transition from early childhood education (PAUD) to primary school is smoother when teachers from both levels collaborate. This collaboration ensures that children experience continuity in learning, emotional support, and social development. Teachers working together can identify children’s needs and plan strategies to help them adapt confidently.

One key aspect of collaboration is sharing observations and assessments. PAUD teachers can provide information on children’s strengths, interests, learning styles, and social-emotional skills. Primary school teachers can use this insight to design welcoming activities and adapt their teaching approach to suit the children entering their classrooms.

Joint activities between PAUD and primary school can also support transition. Visits to primary classrooms, joint storytelling sessions, or guided play experiences help children become familiar with the new environment. These activities reduce anxiety and make the first days of school more enjoyable and engaging.

Communication with parents is another important factor. Teachers from both PAUD and primary school can guide parents on how to reinforce routines, encourage independence, and support emotional adjustment at home. A coordinated approach strengthens children’s confidence and sense of security.

Collaboration between early childhood and primary school teachers ensures that children move from one learning environment to the next with ease. By sharing knowledge, planning joint activities, and engaging families, teachers create a supportive transition that promotes learning, emotional well being, and social development.
