Early Learning Standards
"The first five years of a child’s life involve significant impact on the developing brain and early learning.
The concepts and skills that children learn during their early years
also lay the groundwork for a successful transition to kindergarten and all later schooling.
Virginia is committed to providing every child in the Commonwealth with the
experiences and supports that will provide a solid foundation for their learning and life."
