Our children experience a range of educational transitions, including from home to the ECCE setting, and then the transition to primary school.
"A successful transition can have long-term positive outcomes for children both in their educational success and in terms of social and emotional development " (Margetts, 2009; Centre for Excellence and Outcomes in Children and Young People’s Services (C4EO), 2010).

Here is a link which you can use to obtain valuable information on this important transition.

For many children staying home, coronavirus can seem endless. But a child’s imagination is boundless - there are lots of places they can still “go”.

Encouraging creative, out-of-the-box play can make each day feel special, and give the daily routine a new boost.

Today is International Family Day.

The UN General Assembly realized the importance of the basic family system and declared 15 May as International Family Day in 1993. The first Family Day was was celebrated on 15 May 1994. The family system is the most essential element of social solidarity and serene society. Since 1996, the UN has been proffering a yearly theme for this Day.

UN Secretary-General urged upon the public policy-makers to settle the obstacles in the family system. The working conditions of parents affect them to play a smart role for their families.

The international Day of Families is, therefore, a source to attract the attention of policy-makers to develop need-based policies to create a nurturing environment at the family level for children, because a dysfunctional family system cannot build a functional society.
