Federal Preschool Development Grant Birth-5
The Preschool Development Grant Birth to Five (PDG B-5) opportunity, funded by a multi-year federal grant, will accelerate Virginia’s development of an equitable early childhood system that delivers stable, affordable, and quality early care and education for the state’s families and children, particularly those who are most vulnerable and will benefit the most. PDG B-5 serves to unify birth-to-five providers, increase access, strengthen quality, and engage families. This effort is supported by a partnership between the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE), Virginia Early Childhood Foundation (VECF), and the University of Virginia (UVA). The School Readiness Committee will provide guidance to the PDG effort, especially through an Impact Workgroup.
