Texas Early Learning Pathways
Submitted by Charlotte Cushman on Aug 08, 2016
Texas Early Learning Pathways provides an alignment of the Texas Infant, Toddler, and Three-Year-Old Early Learning Guidelines and the Texas Pre-kindergarten Guidelines. This document highlights developmental milestones for children from birth to age 5 in the areas of social & emotional development, language & communication, cognitive development, and physical health & motor development.
As a guide for caregivers, parents, administrators, and staff developers, Texas Early Learning Pathways aims to do the following:
- highlight important developmental milestones from birth to age 5
- illustrate how very early development relates to subsequent school readiness
- provide recommendations for activities and caregiver behaviors that support children’s healthy development
- serve as a starting point for conversations about children’s growth and how loving, caring adults can support their development
