Serving the unique needs of Ohio’s Early Childhood Educators with Ohio ELDS aligned curricula and assessment

Ohio’s Early Learning and Development Standards form a wide-ranging early education framework, categorizing learning into the following domains:

1. Approaches to Learning (AL)
2. Cognitive Development (CO)
3. Creative Development (CR)
4. Language and Literacy (LL)
5. Mathematics (MA)
6. Physical Development and Wellness (PW)
7. Science (SC)
8. Social and Emotional Development (SE)
9. Social Studies (SS)

These domains, embody the wide spectrum of learning and development for children from birth to the end of preschool. Frog Street’s programs, designed in harmony with these Ohio Early Learning and Development Standards, have been proven to significantly improve outcomes for school readiness.

As young learners evolve, our Threes and Pre-K curricula continue to offer language and literacy experiences that build a foundation for Science of Reading instruction as children grow. Ohio’s ELDS  are designed to span from birth to the end of preschool, reflecting the comprehensive development of children. This ensures a standard educational framework from the earliest stages through to preschool. The alignment of Frog Street’s curricula and assessment with these Ohio standards ensures a well-rounded educational experience that equips children for their future learning explorations​.

Recognizing the crucial role of social and emotional development in early childhood learning, we’ve created an exclusive partnership with Dr. Becky Bailey and her Conscious Discipline® program. This collaboration aids in the effective implementation of Early Childhood Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), which is woven throughout our curricula.
