Transitions in Early Years: Playful Pathways in Early Years Education

With Transitions now recognised as a key principle in the updated Aistear framework, there’s a renewed focus on the importance of change and continuity in a child’s everyday experiences. This webinar will explore how educators can support young children through the many transitions that happen throughout the day—such as arriving at the setting, moving between activities, or preparing for rest and meals. We’ll look at how playful, child-centred strategies and thoughtful routines can help children feel secure and confident during these moments. The session will also highlight the importance of clear communication with families and working together to create a calm, connected, and responsive environment that supports every child through daily transitions.
