 PARENT HANDBOOK
TRANSITIONING OF CHILDREN BETWEEN GROUPS: Children are transitioned between groups in the Center to ensure that individual developmental needs are met and NOT strictly according to chronological age. The classroom placement of children is determined by administration, based on a number of factors, one of which is parent input regarding their child’s needs. Conferences are scheduled prior to all transitions to discuss the child’s readiness for transitioning and to familiarize the parents with day-to-day routines in the child’s new group. On occasion, staff may recommend that outside assessments be made to obtain a clearer description of the child’s development and appropriate program content to meet the child’s particular needs. Such assessments will only be done with parental consent. Assessment reports will be shared with parents, but otherwise will be kept confidential. If an assessment is done at parent initiative, the Center requests a copy so that we can better meet the child’s needs.
