When early learning experiences are connected from birth through third grade (B–3rd), children and their families can more seamlessly transition between ECE programs and grade levels. Smoothing transitions requires careful planning, effective policies and practices, and funding. The transition between pre-K and kindergarten is a particularly important one. There are a number of federal and state programs and other funding opportunities that can help support state and local efforts to improve pre-K to K transitions and alignment. This brief is intended to be a resource for state and local leaders by discussing why these transitions matter, highlighting effective transition and alignment practices, explaining funding streams that can support transition planning and activities, and sharing state and local examples.
