By Nebraska Department of Education , Ed.
December
2006
Summary: This 2006 report indicates that significant accomplishments have been made to improve the status of early childhood over the last two years in Nebraska. Some of the key accomplishments include: (1) the completion of the Together for Kids and Families strategic plan, (2) the completion of the Early Childhood Policy Study and adoption of the Statements of Commitment to Partnerships for Early Childhood by the State Board of Education, (3) implementation of financial incentives for license-exempt child care providers to improve the quality of care to children in programs that receive child care subsidies, (4) publication of the Early Learning Guidelines for children from birth to age 3 years and for children (aged 3–5 years), and (5) establishment of a common core of early childhood education courses at all community colleges. Several new initiatives are listed that have been developed to improve the status of early childhood in Nebraska (e.g., integrating Positive Behavior Supports into early childhood programs to promote the social emotional development of young children, integrating more infant mental health practices into early intervention services to promote social and emotional development of young children, from birth to three years).
