Introduction

​A core component of a high-quality early education experience is that children are provided opportunities, experiences and materials that allow them to engage deeply within developmental/early learning domains to build their school readiness skills. Virginia's Early Learning and Development Standards, Birth-Five Learning Guidelines articulate the skills and knowledge young children need to demonstrate by the end of preschool in order to be successful in kindergarten. Using effective curricula helps ensure that children are afforded the opportunities, activities and interactions within the classroom that support their learning and development of critical school readiness skills.

Early Childhood Curriculum

Teachers need effective early childhood curricula that provide stimulating and engaging learning experiences which are proven to promote school readiness. Using a research-based, integrated and comprehensive curriculum package effectively helps ensure children are engaged in developmentally appropriate, child-led and adult-guided activities that promote their school readiness skills.

Virginia's Early Learning and Development Standards, Birth-Five Learning Guidelines (below) are intended to help early childhood educators implement a comprehensive curriculum and effective classroom activities. A program's curriculum may include one or more commercial curricula, locally developed curriculum and other instructional materials.

Curriculum Vetting

Virginia has been reviewing curriculum at the state level to encourage more programs to use quality instructional tools. A curriculum review process helps programs to identify and implement curricula to best support the learning and development of their children.

Birth to five programs currently operating in Virginia that do not yet have an approved curriculum (Word) in use may be eligible for a comprehensive and expert-led review of their curriculum by the VDOE. Interested programs should first review the Overview of the Curriculum Process for Practice Year 1 (Word). Effective July 1, 2021, VDOE's new, multi-level process begins with an interested program leader's review and completion of the Curriculum Pre-Submission Checklist for Birth to Five Programs .

Note: Completion of the Curriculum Pre-Submission Checklist does not guarantee a comprehensive review will be conducted by VDOE. In 2021-2022, programs that are participating in Practice Year 1 of VQB5 will be prioritized for a curriculum review if eligible.

Programs that do not have a curriculum that meets VDOE's Baseline Criteria for High-Quality Birth to Five Curriculum (Word) as listed in the pre-submission checklist should NOT rush to purchase a new product. Additional support in obtaining an appropriate curriculum will be forthcoming from the VDOE.

VDOE-Approved Curriculum List for Birth to Five Programs

This document includes a list of currently approved early childhood curricula options. This document will be updated on a monthly basis.

Virginia's Foundation Blocks for Early Learning: Comprehensive Standards for Four-Year-Olds

This document describes specific learning and development standards for four-year-olds in the areas of reading, mathematics, science, history and social science, health and physical development, personal and social development, music and visual arts.

Note: The Foundation Blocks document has been updated and will be replaced by Virginia's Early Learning and Development Standards, Birth-Five Learning Guidelines effective Fall 2021. This new document was approved by the Board of Education on March 18, 2021.

For more information read the press release: Board of Education Approves New Early Childhood Learning and Development Standards (Word).

New: Virginia's Early Learning and Development Standards (ELDS), Birth-Five Learning Guidelines

This document is Virginia's new set of comprehensive early learning and development standards for young children, birth to age five. The new standards focus on five Areas of Development: Approaches to Play and Learning; Social and Emotional Development; Communication, Language, and Literacy Development; Health and Physical Development and Cognitive Development.

All birth to five programs are expected to implement the new standards by Fall 2021.

Inclusive Practices

Research shows that participation in programs with typically developing peers is beneficial to both children with and without disabilities. For those with disabilities, inclusion enhances language and social skill. Children without disabilities appreciate diversity and show greater empathy.
