Early Learning
Within the Whole Child Programs Division of ACOE, the Early Learning Department is dedicated to creating a cohesive early learning system that spans birth-3rd grade, connects early learning programs with TK-12 school systems, and aims to narrow the opportunity gaps for our youngest learners. We partner with Alameda County early learning leaders to focus on three areas: Early Learning Planning and Strategic Partnerships, System and Program Quality & Improvement, and Early Learning and Care Workforce Pathways and Professional Development.
