Beyond the statutory requirements of the Early Start Act, DEL recognized the need to seek input, guidance, and participation of our early learning partners to undertake the standards alignment process. Hence DEL sought out committee participation from numerous child-centered organizations, educators, parents, providers, trainers, and advocates. These individuals advised DEL on the standards alignment of licensing by:
- Sharing their expertise and experience;
- Informing the principles, framework and approach;
- Playing an active role in community outreach and engagement.
The Standards Alignment Committee members provided invaluable input and this process would not have been possible without their participation. The following meeting materials document the Advisory Committee's participation in this process.
