Join us for a 3 hour in-person, live Introduction to Kentucky's Early Childhood Standards training.

Lesson planning is the roadmap to providing developmentally appropriate learning experiences to young children.  It is important that children are excited about learning!  It’s also important for educators to understand child development in order to incorporate growth and development into daily activities.  Kentucky’s Early Childhood Standards help providers know what young children should learn.  The purpose of the early childhood standards is to provide educators with a guide to preparing children for success in school, starting in infancy through four-years of age. They describe the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that are important for children to gain before they enter school.  These standards provide early childhood professionals with a valuable resource to use for lesson planning, interactions, family engagement, and so much more.
