The Partnership, in collaboration with Durham Public Schools, is offering competitive mini-grants to support planning and implementing transition activities targeted to families with children who will be heading to kindergarten. The goal of these grants is to foster collaboration between elementary school and early childhood educators around transition to kindergarten.
Sample transition activities might include:
- Summer Transition Camp
- Spring/Summer Open Houses
- Creating introductions for rising kindergartners
- Build “going to kindergarten” into the pre-school curriculum
- Kindergarten Classroom Visits
- Registration Events
- Child Care/Pre-k Visits
The application process for these mini-grants is underway and applications must be received by Wednesday, March 19th at 5 pm. Eligible applicants include kindergarten teachers, elementary school principals, PTAs, and child care teachers and directors. Click here to download the Transition Mini-Grant now.
