The Preschool Development Grant (PDG) is a U.S. federal grant received by California in 2019 and runs through 2022. There are two phases of the PDG: PDG-Initial (PDG-I), managed by the California Department of Education (CDE) and PDG-Renewal (PDG-R), managed by the California Health and Human Services Agency (CalHHS). California is using this grant to improve early learning and care (ELC) systems throughout the state.
The PDG activities represent the efforts of many organizations working together to implement the goals of the PDG. The goals of the PDG are broken down into six activities represented in the graphic below. Many of the activities have subtasks. The subtasks for PDG-I are unrelated to the subtasks for PDG-R.
