Early Learning & Development Standards-"ELDS" (Williamsburg, Middle Peninsula, & Northern Neck only)

Come learn about the new VA state standards for preschool. The Early Learning and Development Standards (ELDS) is a research-based list of "skills and knowledge that children need to demonstrate by the end of preschool in order to be successful in kindergarten."   It is expected that all preschool programs will implement the use of these standards.  Join us to learn about the organization and contents of this document as well as the ways in which it can make you a more effective educator.

Participants interested in being part of one of ourPreschool curriculum-based cohorts must attend this training prior to the beginning of the first cohort meeting. A copy of the ELDS will be delivered or mailed to you ahead of time, along with other training materials.

Trainer: Diane Postman

NOTE: This is a virtual training.  Attendance is only for centers and schools in and around Williamsburg and beyond. Centers and schools on the Peninsula (Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, York) should register for the Nov. 9th in-person training.  Registration will close on Nov. 6th.
