Abstract: This paper presents a collaborative action research project developed from the experiences of teachers at a preschool and a primary school during, and in the aftermath, of the Covid-19 pandemic. By adopting a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, there is a considered awareness of the life-world of the children, their families, as well as the educators at both settings. Through reflexive engagement in the action research process, this paper identifies key messages to inform a child-centred pedagogy to support transitions as well as outlining some practical strategies for early years and primary school settings.
