Abstract	Much of the current debate about children's transition to school focuses on children's readiness for school. Indeed, Boethel (2004, p. 17) describes transition as the "focal point of readiness." Typically, this focus extends to considering children's competencies--particularly their skills and abilities--at the time of starting school. This article reports two programs that consider broader definitions of readiness and transition, highlighting the importance of community support and engagement as children start school. Each of these programs builds community support for educators, families, and children, with the aim of making the start to school as positive as possible. (Contains 2 figures.) (ERIC).
