In New London, preschool teachers and kindergarten teachers met on a monthly basis. This group hosted professional development opportunities and provided support to area centers and kindergarten teachers. One of their main goals was to improve the transition to kindergarten for area preschool children. A variety of activities was planned that ensured a smoother transition for children entering the public schools.

The program was developed to ensure that Meriden's children were ready to successfully make the transition into kindergarten. A summer program was offered free of charge to families to prepare children for kindergarten and public school. A curriculum was developed by the Board of Education.

| This program was developed to help ease the transition fears of Middletown's preschoolers. Preschool classes get the opportunity to go to a local elementary school and have a snack in the cafeteria, play on the playground, and see a kindergarten classroom. An added benefit of this program was that preschool teachers learned what is expected of kindergartners and shared ideas with kindergarten teachers. | ||
