The goal of the Office of Early Learning and Development is to coordinate birth through 3rd grade state level work to improve the access and quality of early childhood education programs across a variety of settings. The focus is building strong connections between learning experiences across these critical years. This approach necessitates that educational standards, curricula, assessment, instruction, and professional development are strongly aligned across programs starting in infancy through 3rd grade.
