In modern pedagogy, the importance of children's transitions from the family to kindergarten and from kindergarten to elementary school is increasingly emphasized. The transition from kindergarten to elementary school represents the first serious step towards formal education. This educational process brings many changes to a child's life. These changes involve moving from a play-based environment to a teaching and normative learning environment. They can be stressful for the child as well as for their family, so efforts are made to ensure a high-quality transition, which requires the cooperation of all stakeholders, particularly parents, educators, and teachers. Transition procedures are activities that can facilitate children's movement from one community or environment to another. It is important that children actively participate in these procedures and have the right to express their own opinions (Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989). This paper presents empirical research dealing with the thoughts of children from kindergarten and elementary school (N=12). Through semi-structured interviews, the children provided statements about the similarities and differences between kindergarten and elementary school, the process of networking, the role of adults, and their self-perception of identity. The research showed that children recognize similarities between kindergarten and school but highlight differences in the freedom to play, the presence of educators and teachers, and the structure. The process of networking and socialization changes with the transition to school, where children deepen their social connections through shared activities and tasks. They clearly distinguish the roles of educators, teachers, and parents, which indicates their understanding of social roles and responsibilities. Children see the transition from kindergarten to school as a significant step in their development, marked by higher expectations regarding learning and behavior. The process of transitioning to new school requirements encourages children to adapt to new roles and situations, contributing to their overall personal and social development.
