Transitioning to kindergarten

Transition to kindergarten is not an event but a process. This process starts from birth. Early childhood education programs that you participate in can help your child to make smooth transitions through their education journey.

  • Learn more about helping your child prepare for the transition to kindergarten from your local EarlyON Child and Family Centre or licensed child care programme.
  • You can also find tips to help your child prepare for kindergarten on the Ministry of Education website
