DRAFT Department of Early Childhood Transition Plan Now Available for Public Feedback

The Transition Working Group (TWG) today released the first draft of a plan to establish a new, unified Department of Early Childhood that will align and strengthen the state’s early childhood services and programs, including the voter-approved, voluntary, universal preschool program. The draft Department of Early Childhood Transition Plan, which highlights recommendations for the department’s structure, governance, and priorities, can be found here.

We invite you to join us on our statewide listening tour Oct. 11-15 to share the draft plan and gather public feedback. In-person events will be hosted in nine locations across the state; two virtual events will also be held, and Spanish language interpretation will be available. All stakeholders are encouraged to attend. More information, including event details and registration, can be found here.

In addition, an online feedback form to collect input on the draft plan is available here. All feedback is requested by Oct. 21.

Our momentum continues to grow, and we look forward to working alongside you to ensure all children, their families, and the early childhood professionals who support them are valued, healthy and thriving.
