Abstract
The issue of children’s readiness for kindergarten is a contested topic, with dominant school-based definitions focusing on a children’s performance on a constrained set of academic and social emotional skills. In this chapter, we describe a kindergarten transition program, funded through a federal grant and anchored within a university, which utilized an asset-based approach to working with families and helping to prepare children for kindergarten. In this community-school-university project we centered the strengths and aspirations of families in designing and implementing a summer transition to kindergarten program.
