Harmonious Transition Pilot Project
This pilot project aims to test ways to better equip and support educators in order to enhance their role with children and families (1) by making the development of the child apparent to identify their needs, and (2) by piloting a process for transferring the child’s record to the school. This project stems from the work of the provincial intersectoral network for the promotion of mental health in early childhood of Francophones, whose meetings are coordinated by AFÉSEO and funded by the Commission nationale des parents francophones (CNPF), through the project Réseau d’intervenantes et intervenants en petite enfance francophone (RIIPEF).
The first aspect of the project aims to implement and evaluate the ASQ and ASQ: SE, which are tools for measuring children’s general and social-emotional development, in educational centres. The goal is to collect, analyze, and use evidence-based data to support child development in French-speaking contexts. The second part of the project aims to develop a structured collaborative process for sharing knowledge about each child between early childhood education services and schools during the transition to school. The goal is to better support each child according to their needs and characteristics.
