Seamless continuity: The earliest years of a child’s education matter the most.
Research has shown that seamless continuity throughout the Early Childhood Education period (ages 2+ to 7+) is crucial to optimising their outcomes later on.
This video explores how we manage the various, inherently challenging, transitions throughout this critical educational period and beyond.
