Early Childhood Education Standards
The Pennsylvania
Early Childhood Education Standards are research-based standards that identify key learning
areas of development for children and are reflected in the Core Body of Knowledge
competencies. The Standards guide practitioners to intentionally integrate developmental
knowledge with the attitudes, skills and concepts children need to make progress
in all learning areas.
