A goal is to establish systems for all providers of all settings to share best practices and for a cycle of continuous improvement across agencies, programs, and services to become institutionalized for the benefit of all children and their families, including the most vulnerable.
With this goal in mind, PDG B-5 prioritizes the early care and education workforce, with the development of a compensation implementation plan and mental health consultative supports. Below are other ways that PDG intends to support our educators and programs.
