How can we support Muslim children transition to school?
Children who thrive as learners in our country have equitable access to learning opportunities. Like all parents, those who are Muslim want their children to thrive, be safe, and have a sense of belonging when they are at school.
Funded by Rātā Foundation, An-Nur Childcare Centre in Ōtautahi, Christchurch, and Tātai Aho Rau Core Education have worked together to create resources that will empower teachers and Muslim families to build inclusive learning environments together.

Since 2021, we've worked on research and resources to support pathways for children for lifelong learning. 'Transition to School' had three streams – English medium, Kaupapa Māori and Pacific medium. Working with communities, we co-created practical strategies and resources to support teachers, whānau and tamariki to transition from early childhood centres to school successfully.
