When we are talking about transition, it is the changes of events. In daycare or child care, it is the time when we have to follow the daily routine or schedule, changes from one place to the other and or moving things or toys from the container to the floor and back and forth, to stop the activity and moving on to the other activity.
What is transition time in daycare?
Transition is the most difficult time for the children particularly if they are engaged to the activity. It is also a challenging part of the educator perhaps the stressful parts of the day in the daycare or childcare. There is too much movement that it possibly gives confusion, other children may feel excitement and others may feel disoriented and lost.
Transition activity should be planned in advance and educator must be focused on. This is the time to impose discipline in order to minimize behavioral problems and chaos and to let the children know that they are still safe and secure whatever the changes of activity they may have.
Some suggested transition activity that can help in the daycare settings:
- Songs/Rhyme
- Finger plays
- Head Counting
- Hand Clapping
- Simon says and many more...
Example: Acka Backa
