The Oklahoma Early Childhood Program (OECP) was created in 2006 to improve the quality of early education and expand statewide capacity to serve children from birth through age three. OECP provides the fiscal structure to align state and private resources to promote high-quality standards tied to minimum teacher qualifications, ongoing professional development, and parent supports designed to foster low-income families’ independence and economic success. Public funding for OECP flows through the Oklahoma State Department of Education as a match to private funds provided by philanthropists and corporations throughout the state. During the 2021-2022 Program Year, OECP expanded its reach within the state of Oklahoma by onboarding two new partners, recognized as Professional Development partners. OECP partnered with 11 agencies who have locations in both urban and rural Oklahoma. The 11 partners have a total of 54 school locations, 295 classrooms and served 3,011 children. Further, through an existing traditional partner, six more centers and family childcare homes were also added to OECP in 2021-2022. (author abstract)
