The CT ELDS: A Valuable Tool for Supporting Young Children

Early care and education providers are continually striving to provide developmentally appropriate experiences for young children. This requires the ability to explore topics that are well matched to children's interests, engage in interactions that are a good fit with their current level of development, and challenge children to move toward higher levels of thinking or ability without overwhelming them.
The Connecticut Early Learning and Development Standards are a great tool to guide this work.
