When used appropriately, early learning standards can enhance the quality of education for young children. Early learning standards do this by bringing clarity to what children can and should be learning, fostering accountability among teachers for what they are teaching and what children are learning, and insuring that all children have opportunities to maximize their developmental potential. All of this is accomplished when educators use early learning standards to add a layer of awareness and intentionality to their planning so they know when and where the standards are being addressed throughout their day as well as when children's play offers opportunities for learning within the domains covered by the standards (Gronlund & James, 2008). This virtual kit was designed to provide resources and information to professionals to guide them and support their understanding of early learning standards and how to apply them to enhance their programs.
