Content | Let's work to insure that all our state's families with children, from birth through five years of age, have adequate health care, insurance, and parent education about child development and growth. I believe we have to start at birth to prepare our children for school and for life-long learning. Let's work with the State Dept. of Education and child care providers to develop curriculum and learning opportunities so that when our youngest students are pre-school age, they have been prepared with vertically aligned curriculum and are ready for the high quality curriculum that is presently in place in pre-school and all day kindergarten. Oklahoma is leading the nation is early childhood innovations, but we need to go further and involve our children birth-four so that there is no gap in their learning. All agencies that currently work with families and young children need to begin to coordinate their efforts and work toward a common goal. |
