Commonwealth Preschool Partnership Initiative (CPPI)
Transition to Kindergarten Team Mission
​
To create a welcoming, supportive, safe environment where children and families feel comfortable, informed and confident as they transition to kindergarten.
​
We strive to foster a love of learning, build social and emotional skills, grow foundational academic skills, and help children transition smoothly into school.
​
Whether transitioning to kindergarten from private, public, community child care centers, or other caregiving arrangements, we will work together to ensure every child's success and wellbeing.
