Attention has been given to early childhood education to provide access to high-quality learning experiences. Early Head Start (EHS) and Head Start (HS) facilitate early childhood development by providing intensive comprehensive educational services for low-income infants and toddlers and their families. Ensuring a smooth transition from an infant/toddler program into preschool is critical, as adjustment challenges can cause a negative experience, making children less likely to be responsive to later school. Presently, EHS and HS do not have a tool to examine their use of transition practices. The National Early Childhood Transition Center (NECTC) investigated practices and strategies that enhance early childhood transitions. The NECTC created a survey of Transition Practices for programs to assess their use of transition practices. However, this survey is general in nature with a focus on examining if practices were present or not, instead of frequency of use. The goals of this research project are to adapt the NECTC Transition Practices Survey for use in the EHS/HS context and examine transition practices used by EHS and HS staff and the interrelationship with variables. The newly adapted measure was called Transition Practices-EHS/HS. Participants included 179 EHS and HS educators in Pennsylvania that support the transition process for children who exit EHS and enter HS. Results indicated that the Transition Practices-EHS/HS is a reliable, single-construct scale. Furthermore, it was found that EHS educators (i.e., EHS classroom teachers and EHS home visitors) implemented a higher mean of transition practices compared to Other Professional roles. Results suggest the Transition Practices-EHS/HS may be utilized as a self-reflection tool for EHS and HS educators to examine current use of transition practices. Implications for practice and future research are also discussed.
