Minnesota's Early Learning Guidelines for Birth to 3...
Had a great time last weekend at the Sharing the Wisdom of Many Voices conference hosted by the MN Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the MN Early Childhood and School Age Trainers Association.
It is always one of my favorite conferences and a great time to catch up on information with friends and peers that I do not get to meet often enough. In addition to all the fun, there were a lot of great workshops to attend this year.
At the conference we got the get the first run hard copies of the long awaited Early Childhood Indicators of Progress - Birth to 3 Guidelines. Check it out at http://edocs.dhs.state.mn.us/lfserver/Legacy/DHS-4438-ENG
This document was developed over the last two years with the support, input and feedback of many individuals, programs and agencies. It is jointly sponsored by the Minnesota Departments of Human Services and Health.
Hard copies of this publication are available free of cost, while supplies last. They are available to be picked up in person at DHS and through a variety of events statewide. DHS can mail copies of the Early Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIPs) for children birth to 3, and for children 3 to 5. You may contact Mary Firth at DHS to request an order form. Her email address is mary.firth@state.mn.us.
I think that this will be a helpful tool for parents and caregivers of young children. Make sure you request your copy today!
