Kindergarten-family educational partnership versus children’s adaptation to new educational environments

Abstract

The article addresses the topic of making the children's adaptation to new educational environments more efficient by capitalizing on the kindergarten-family educational partnership. Through constructive, systematic and sustainable cooperation between educational agencies, a stimulating, supportive, cohesive environment is created, which encourages a coherent and efficient transition of children to kindergarten and contributes to achieving the expected performance. The open communication, the sharing of goals and expectations, the active participation of parents and the continuous support of the efforts of children and educators are key elements that contribute to the child's success in the complex process of adapting to new educational/social environments.
