Early Childhood
Welcome to the early childhood section of our website. The field of Early Childhood on this site refers to quality practices used in both Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE). We invite you to explore information under the ECE Literacy, ECSE and Behavior links.
Inclusive Placement Opportunities for Preschoolers (IPOP)
The Virginia Department of Education’s Statewide Inclusive Placement Opportunities for Preschoolers (IPOP) initiative aims to increase options for children with disabilities to be included in settings with children without disabilities in school divisions’ preschool programs and community preschools. School and division-level teams can use the IPOP manual to expand or develop inclusive placements for preschoolers with disabilities.
Early Childhood Needs Assessment Form
An Early Childhood Needs Assessment Form is now available.
