This presentation will provide an overview from the Aotearoa New Zealand perspective of the Infant transition - International project: Social and emotional experiences in transition through the early years, a multi-site international longitudinal study. The presentation will focus on the intention of the study, that is, to understand the complex inter-subjective experiences within and between individuals, contexts and cultures by examining beliefs, attitudes and associated interactions that take place during and following the first months and years of transition. More specific attention will be on aspects of the attitudes of teachers and parents before, during and post transition experience, the history policies and protocols of the early year's settings in supporting or enhancing the transition process and inter-subjective experiences with a focus on how these experiences manifest in social and educational interactions within the early years context.
