View Award Description

Preschool Development Birth-Five Systems Building Grant - Arkansas has identified PDG B-5 outcome strategies and related activities that build long-term capacity and strengthen essential system infrastructure. These investments will help Arkansas continue moving toward a unified and seamless ECE system that supports young children, families, providers, and communities across the mixed-delivery system. Arkansas will use PDG B-5 funds to support seven outcome strategies central to its vision for access, quality, and sustainability across the birth–5 continuum: (1) Sustain and expand Local Lead work; (2) Conduct third-party CLASS observations; (3) Provide quality enhancement grants during the transition to a new quality system; (4) Provide bonuses or stipends to support and retain the early childhood workforce; (5) Modernize licensing training modules; (6) Create a CCDF budgeting and forecasting tool; and (7) Build a unified and coherent early childhood data system. Arkansas will pursue these strategies to meet the PDG B–5 priorities of developing a shared, comprehensive vision for ECE; build a unified, coherent statewide ECE system; and maximize family choice for ECE options. PDG B–5 is an opportunity for Arkansas to propel its work forward towards every child being prepared for kindergarten and lifelong success.
