The transition from preschool to elementary school is an important period for all families but can be particularly difficult for children from low-income families (Pianta, Rimm-Kaufman, & Cox, 1999). Transition involves not only the children's "readiness," especially in terms of literacy, but also how families, preschools, and schools interact and cooperate to provide comprehensive support in the early years of school (Ramey & Ramey, 1994). This article describes one community's attempt to ensure smooth preschool to school transitions. Such transitions can provide "the continuity of experiences that children have between periods and between spheres of their lives" (Kagan & Neuman, 1998, p. 366). In this example, preschool teachers and kindergarten teachers overcame barriers and built relationships as they formed partnerships to promote smooth transitions and ensure positive outcomes for children through literacy programs.
