Kita Rappelkiste: Successful transition to primary school for our kids!

The transition from the daycare center to primary school marks one of the most important steps in the life of preschool children and their families. In this context, the Kita Rappelkiste in Dattenberg has played an outstanding role because it was selected as one of five pilot daycare centers in the Neuwied district for the innovative Frana project. This project is aimed at children who often have to struggle with the challenges of such a transition, especially if their parents are mentally or seeking. The district youth welfare office organizes this project, which is financed by funding from the State Child Protection Act, and will take place in the daycare in the third and fourth quarter of 2024. At a parents' evening, the evaluation of the project is presented, in which the positive feedback from the parents fueled the hope that Frana could be offered throughout the district of Neuwied in the future, such as Blick -aktuell reported.

The transition to primary school is not only an institutional challenge, but also an important phase of life for children. According to Pro-Kita , the children have to learn to loosen from the familiar daycare environment and adapt to new daily processes and requirements. This transition takes place at different levels: individual, relational and environmentally related nature. During this time, fears and uncertainties can occur that can be mitigated by educators by targeted support.

support and preparation

An important aspect to promote school ability are targeted actions such as the satchel tag and trial days in primary school. These initiatives are intended to help the children develop trust in their skills and to cope with the changes in their living environment. This also includes the imparting of key competencies such as self -esteem and positive social behavior, which can be supported by creative offers and joint handicrafts of the school bags.

The Frana workshop in the Rappelkiste daycare center is a resilience and lucky workshop that was specially designed for this transition program. It is based on the knowledge of resilience research, happiness psychology and stress management and is intended to strengthen the holistic well -being of the children. The aim is to promote self -confidence and self -efficacy, which is achieved through age -appropriate training and creative units. The experienced specialists from "Zeitgeist Education Aids" from Neuwied take over the implementation of the training.

The role of parents

an equally decisive factor for the successful transition is the role of parents. These are often more anxious than the children and seek security regarding the school ability of their offspring. So that parents feel safer, it is important that educators maintain open communication and are available to provide advice. In addition, information events and parents' evenings contribute to clarifying questions and coping with uncertainties. The exchange between parents, educators and teachers is essential to make the transition to all involved. In summary, it can be stated that the transition from the daycare center to primary school is a complex and complex challenge. Through structured projects such as Frana and the close cooperation between educational institutions and families, children can be optimally prepared for this new phase of life. Finally, the success of these initiatives is also measured by how well children and parents master the transition and find their way around the new environment. In addition, it is important that educational institutions not only have learning content, but also the social and emotional well -being of children in view in order to reduce fears and to strengthen trust in one's own abilities, as is shown in other specialist articles on the transition between daycare and school, as Kindergarten Paedagogik Thematized.
