We all desire the start of kindergarten to be a memorable and exciting experience filled with joy and wonder for each young learner. To achieve these high aspirations, we need coordinated planning and strategic methods designed to foster a smooth transition.

Therefore, the Early Learning Coalition of Manatee County is asking parents/caregivers, preschool teachers, directors, kindergarten teachers, and principals for assistance in completing the appropriate needs assessment below. Your feedback is valuable and will help us set a baseline to provide a well-developed transition to kindergarten plan for the students of Manatee County.
