Successful transitions begin as people think about the future, plan ahead and work together.
As your child nears age 3, he or she may transition from Birth to 3 services to Head Start, to community preschools, to child care programs or to early childhood special 'education. Some of these programs have special requirements which guide the actions that must be taken. This family guide is a tool to assist you in making decisions for your child. Your family's cultural and linguistic background brings a unique set of values, beliefs, customs, and behaviors that are likely to influence transition planning and activities. This family guide provides general recommendations which you will need to tailor to meet your family's situation.
