Project Description:

The Nebraska Early Childhood Education (ECE) ProgramBirth through Age 5 (B-5) includes all children who are part of Nebraska public education programs that are supported through the blending of multiple funding sources. Operated by Nebraska public school districts (hereafter referred to as districts) or Educational Service Units (ESUs), comprehensive early childhood education programs support the learning and development of children B-5 across home- and center-based settings. Many full or half-day center-based programs are provided in partnership with community agencies. The purpose of the ECE Program is to provide high quality early childhood education experiences that assist children to reach their full potential and increase the likelihood of their later success in school. MMI Department of Education is responsible for the evaluation of this statewide program.
