The mission of the BPS Department of Early Childhood is to equip all educators, leaders, and caregivers with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to provide an equitable, high-quality early education that leverages the children’s own identities, experiences, funds of knowledge, and cultures.
By developing strong learning partnerships with children, families, and communities, and by effectively implementing the tools and protocols to stretch children’s skills and thinking, educators will empower children to be active agents in their own learning. Child-centric, research-based, highly developmental early education can be scaled and sustained in public settings. Our success can be your success - learn how.
