Maine Early Childhood Learning Guidelines
The State of
Maine Early Childhood Learning Guidelines serves as a guide for state and local
early care and education practitioners’ efforts to improve early childhood
professional practice and programs for young children ages three through their
entrance into kindergarten. This document considers the core elements
contained in the State of
Maine Learning Results (K-12). The Guidelines reflect current research on early learning and best
practice in early education. The document can be used within and across a wide
range of early learning settings—public preschool, Head Start, subsidized child
care programs, private child care programs, nursery schools, family child care
homes, and informal care settings. The Early Childhood Learning Guidelines are
intended to effect greater collaboration and consistency across systems by
aligning practice across all early childhood settings and the early grades.
