Early Learning in Ohio

Children develop many key concepts and skills between the ages of birth and age five that are critical to building a solid foundation for learning. The Ohio Department of Education has developed Early Learning and Development Standards to help ensure young children get a strong start in school across five domains:

Social and emotional development
Physical well-being and motor development
Approaches toward learning
Language and literacy development
Cognition and general knowledge

More information can be found on the Ohio Department of Education’s website.
