The Michigan Department of Education (MDE), Office of Early
Childhood Education and Family Services, is pleased to share a
resource for parents of children entering kindergarten. The resource
is a culmination of many offices within MDE working together to
develop Parent Guides, a series of tip sheets which highlight a
variety of questions parents may have when their children are
entering kindergarten.
The Parent Guides were developed out of a request from a
stakeholder group of parents of young children who reported that the
most difficult transition time for them was kindergarten entry. The
Parent Guides were reviewed by the Parent Involvement Committee of
the State Interagency Coordinating Council (SICC) and were approved
by the SICC and authorized for distribution by MDE.
The Parent Guides are available on the following websites and are
arranged by topics so parents may select the Parent Guides that are
relevant to their needs.
