Why the change from preschool to primary school is so important

The change from preschool to primary school is a transition. This means that the children are facing a major change process and their life circumstances will change significantly. They will therefore face a number of challenges over time, but these will also give them the opportunity to grow and develop. In order for the transition to be as positive as possible and for the children to start school with confidence, care should be taken to ensure that the departure from preschool is harmonious and that the change is not perceived as a break. A great start to school can have a positive effect on the new schoolchildren’s entire time at school. They are perceived differently by those around them when they start primary school and are treated more maturely as they are now part of the ‘grown-ups’, meaning that they are suddenly expected to be more disciplined and punctual. Preschool and primary school also differ in terms of their requirements and organisation. A positive and supportive organisation of the transition is very helpful so that the children can adjust well.
