Detailed Description

Transition 2 Kindergarten Network

Result: Every child enters kindergarten ready to succeed.

Strategies

The Transition 2 Kindergarten Network believes kindergarten readiness is a shared responsibility. We are focused on two strategies: utilizing the Minnesota Department of Education’s Successful Learner Equation and supporting social-emotional learning for young children before kindergarten entry.

In practice, this currently looks like:

  • Creating a centralized Early Childhood Resource Hub 

  • Communicating with and building a shared understanding of “Successful Learner” for the community 

  • Engaging caregivers and educators in refining social-emotional learning supports within early childhood programs through the community co-design process

  • Developing and implementing a shared community data dashboard to visualize early childhood indicator data 

  • Distributing, repurposing, and increasing access to Transition to Kinder Cards 

  • Addressing child care barriers and recommendations outlined in the Childcare Insights report
