Description:
The North Dakota 63rd Legislative Assembly enacted Senate Bill 2229, stating that the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall study the development, delivery, and administration of comprehensive early childhood care and early childhood education in the State of North Dakota. The North Dakota Early Care and Early Education Study Advisory Committee, here after will be referenced to as the Advisory Committee, representing child care providers, Head Start, higher education, public and private school districts, special education, advocacy groups, and State departments, including Public Instruction, Human Services, Information Technology, Commerce, and the Governor's Office guided this work. The purpose of this report, and its findings, is to bring to surface areas of need and improvement in child care, Head Start, and pre-kindergarten programs. Additionally, this report should serve as an impetus for further research in this field, so policy makers can make well-informed policy decisions. Such decisions have the potential to improve the early childhood education system in North Dakota, so that all of North Dakota's children have opportunities for a brighter future. (author abstract)
