Hawai‘i Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG B-5) Systems Building

About

The Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five Systems Building is building upon the PDG B-5 Renewal Grant. It is awarded from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Child Care (OCC) to the Executive Office of Early Learning (EOEL). This federal grant is focused on strengthening the state’s integrated early childhood care and education (ECCE) system to prepare low-income and disadvantaged children to enter kindergarten and have a seamless and high-quality early childhood experience from birth through third grade, by investing in the early childhood workforce and expanding access to high-quality ECCE programs and supports provided through a comprehensive mixed delivery system. This Systems Building grant allows states to address data-driven objectives to break down barriers and improve access to higher-quality early childhood services. CDS is contracted to provide monitoring and evaluation activities to this grant.
