Guam Preschool Development Grant Birth to 5: Strategic plan

Description:

The Guam Early Childhood State Plan was made possible through funding from Guam’s Preschool Development Grant Birth to Five (Guam PDG B-5), which provided the mechanism for health and education programs and public & private community stakeholders to define and evaluate current practices and determine how all children will have equitable access to high-quality early childhood care and education opportunities. The Guam PDG B-5 supports the Guam Early Learning Council’s (GELC) vision that, “All of Guam’s young children will have healthy minds, bodies, and spirits as the foundation for lifelong success.” The mission of the GELC is “to support each child (birth to 8) in reaching his/her full potential through an equitable health care and education system that is accessible, comprehensive, integrated, and responsive to diverse cultures and is developed in collaboration with families and communities.” Through the implementation of this Early Childhood State Plan, Guam will achieve the GELC’s mission of an Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) system of services that is accessible, comprehensive, integrated, and responsive to diverse cultures and is developed in collaboration with parents and community partners. This will be attained through the authentic engagement of parents, service providers, and community partners working together to address the strategic issues in the needs assessment, and identify actionable steps for setting the course of early childhood on Guam for the next three years. The Guam PDG B-5 Leadership Team acknowledges that the plan is a living document and changes may occur as new needs arise. Accommodations will be made accordingly, including those needed in response to the present COVID-19 global pandemic. Stakeholder input from service providers, public and private community partners, parents and caregivers was collected, aggregated, and incorporated in the Needs Assessment and Strategic Plan documents.
