Who coordinates the Transition Statement with long day care, family day care, etc?
Early childhood educators in funded kindergarten programs are best placed to coordinate the Statement. Children may also be attending other early childhood services that will want to contribute to this process, such as long day care, family day care or occasional care services. Many early childhood educators have great relationships with other services involved with a child (which may include early intervention, educators in long day care services, family day care services, occasional case services, kindergarten preschool field officers and other support workers). Where these arrangements are in place, professionals are encouraged to work together to complete the Statement. Services that don’t have these arrangements in place are encouraged to work with families to discuss the inclusion of any additional information. This may involve educators in other services preparing additional information or an additional Statement being attached and forwarded to the school.
