TEMPLATE Early Learning & Development Standards – “ELDS” (Virtual, but see note in description)

NOTE: This virtual training is ONLY open to directors, teachers, and other staff who live more than 30 minutes from our office in Newport News.  If you live in Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, or York County, please register for the in-person training on Sept. 12.

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 our Preschool 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.  You will receive the ZOOM link via email, prior to the training.
