Transition: a positive start to school

Guidelines to help families complete the Transition Learning and Development Statement

Early childhood services, schools, Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) services and families are all partners in nurturing children’s learning and wellbeing. To make it easier to share information between services, schools and families an individual Transition Learning and Development Statement (TLDS) is written by the early childhood service for every child as they go onto school.

The TLDS shares information about your child’s learning, development and wellbeing between early childhood services and schools. It summarises your child’s interests, skills and abilities and identifies individual approaches and teaching strategies to support your child on their learning journey.
