Early Learning and Development Standards (ELDS) Exploration Webinar Series

Description:

Virginia’s Early Learning and Development Standards (ELDS), Birth-5 Learning Guidelines articulate the skills and knowledge children need to demonstrate by the end of preschool in order to be successful in kindergarten. The standards are intended to help early childhood educators understand the basics of child development, implement effective classroom activities, and engage in high-quality teacher child interactions as measured by Virginia’s quality measurement and improvement system, VQB5.

The Early Learning and Development (ELDS) Exploration Webinar Series helps early childhood professionals become familiar with each developmental area, explore resources, and learn strategies that support implementation.
