It’s time for kindergarten! The transition from preschool to kindergarten can be a time of excitement, but it can also be a source of anxiety. Transitions are made easier when families and providers understand the process. This session will help you to understand the transition process and be an active member of the transition team. We will discuss the difference between services in CPSE and CSE, as well as the purpose of an Individualized Education Program (IEP). 

This is a series of learning opportunities geared towards families and caregivers to assist in navigating special education, supporting your child's needs, and available community supports.  To register for an event, please click this link.
