The State of Vorarlberg on the Internet

For many children the first day at school is the most exciting day of their young lives. Kindergarten teachers and primary school teachers work closely together to make sure that this day and the following months remain a pleasant memory for a long time to come. They ensure a smooth transition from kindergarten to primary. For example, kindergarten teachers and primary school teachers organise parent evenings where the parents receive all the information they need about the transition and this new stage in their child's life. Through mutual visits as well as events and campaigns, the kindergarten children experience school and their future schoolmates not as a threat, but as a perfectly natural progression. Getting to know and interacting with each other gives the children a sense of security and makes them curious about the world of learning.
