State Advisory Council on Early Learning and Care Provides Feedback on Preschool Development Grant Birth Through Five

On May 6, 2019, the State Advisory Council on Early Learning and Care (SAC) took part in an extensive work session to provide feedback on the development of the Preschool Development Grant (PDG) Strategic Plan and Needs Assessment. The PDG Strategic Plan is intended to align with the PDG Needs Assessment and will build on previous state plans and recommendations in order to reflect current early learning and care priorities and systems-building efforts, including the recently released report by the California Assembly Blue Ribbon Commission on Early Childhood Education. Both the PDG Strategic Plan and the Needs Assessment will be submitted for federal review at the end of summer 2019.
