Early Childhood Education Best Practices
Introduction
At Â鶹ֱ²¥, our vision is to prepare every child in Texas for success in college, career, or the military. This vision is set forth by building a foundation for knowledge and skills in reading, math, and other developmentally appropriate subjects that serve the whole child in early childhood education, prekindergarten–grade 2. In partnership with families, schools, and communities, the Early Childhood Education Division at Â鶹ֱ²¥ provides support, resources, and guidance that are aligned to effective early learning practices and support the foundational framework for creating a high-quality early childhood education program.Ìý
