What's New?

The California Department of Social Services (CDSS), in partnership with WestEd, announced the reimagined California Preschool Program Guidelines, now titled California Preschool Guidelines for All Settings. This publication offers comprehensive guidance for early learning leaders, educators, and staff in family child care homes, center-based settings, and school-based settings. It highlights best practices that support high-quality early learning and care settings serving preschool children.

California Infant–Toddler Learning and Development Foundations Module Series—Now available! The CDSS, in partnership with WestEd, has launched a 4-hour online series of professional development modules on the revised second edition of the California Infant–Toddler Learning and Development Foundations. Designed for early learning and care professionals in all roles, the modules are available in English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese on California Early Childhood Online (CECO).

California Early Learning and Development Website—Now Live!  
The CDSS, in partnership with WestEd, launched a new free interactive resource, the California Early Learning and Development website, to support Early Learning and Care educators who work with young children (birth to 36 months) and families and caregivers of young children (birth to 36 months) by offering information and videos that show how children grow, learn, and develop in the early years.
