A large number of studies have shown that children's educational success depends heavily on the parental home. This is hardly surprising when you consider that the parental home is not only the first place of education for children, but also the only one that has an impact throughout childhood and adolescence.

Everyone benefits from intensive and constructive cooperation between educational institutions (daycare centers, elementary school, after-school care) and families, especially the children.

The networks are therefore called upon to implement a transition concept that not only promotes the children's good arrival at school and after-school care, but also the parents' good arrival. In cooperation with each other, it is important to constantly check whether the existing transition services actually reach all parents and to adapt and expand them if necessary.
