Louisiana Administrative Code › Title 28 - EDUCATION › Part CLIX - Bulletin 136-Louisiana Early Learning and Development Standards for Children Birth to Five Years › Chapter 1 - General Provisions › Section CLIX-113 - Use of this Document with Other Documents in Louisiana

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Early childhood educators often feel
				overwhelmed by the multitude of guidelines, requirements and recommendations
				that are part of the tools and information available. These birth to five early
				learning and development standards are designed to assist educators in
				improving the quality of care for all children in all settings by presenting
				goals for children's development and learning. They are consistent with other
				standards and guidelines provided to early childhood programs in Louisiana. The
				practices that are considered "best practice" will promote children's learning
				and development as described in this document, and are consistent with best
				practices in all types of programs and settings. Of course, programs and
				settings that have specific funding sources may require different policies, but
				all programs should be working toward improving quality to support children's
				progress on the standards and indicators included in this document.
B. The graphic below shows how these birth to
				five early learning and development standards compare to other documents that
				describe expectations for children's learning and development that are
				currently being used in Louisiana, specifically those from head start and
				Louisiana's kindergarten standards. In most instances, the domains and areas of
				development listed under one document are very similar to those found in
				another; however, there are some differences across the three
				documents.
C. We believe that the
				practices and recommended strategies that promote high quality early education
				services will support children's progress on the standards and indicators, and
				that as young children develop the skills and behaviors described in the ELDS
				and the head start framework, they will be ready to meet the kindergarten
				standards once they enter kindergarten.
