Early Learning and Development Benchmarks

ATTENTION:
The Early Learning and Development Benchmarks, now called the Washington State Early Learning and Development Guidelines, are being redesigned to ensure that they are culturally relevant for Washington’s increasingly diverse population, that they provide links to the K-12 system and that they reflect the most up to date knowledge about how children grow and learn. This process is being led by the Department of Early Learning (DEL) in partnership with OSPI and Thrive by Five Washington.

To learn more and to share your comments on the draft redesigned Early Learning Guidelines, please visit the DEL website: http://www.del.wa.gov/development/benchmarks/
