Early Childhood Program
The Early Childhood Program assists in providing leadership and coordination for preventive health and safety information, and social-emotional development of young children beginning in infancy, and expanding professional development opportunities across the state. The Early Childhood Program works in collaboration with the Oklahoma Partnership for School Readiness to lead Oklahoma in coordinating an early childhood system focused on strengthening families and school readiness for all children.
