The Early Learning Matters (ELM) Curriculum is a highly accessible and adaptive program that supports optimal learning and development of children from birth to five years of age.
At the heart of this program is 50 weeks of activity plans that build on children’s pathways to development in five areas for infants and toddlers, and in eight areas for preschool-age children.
More than 1,300 activity plans and related resources – for child observation and assessment, staff training, and connections with families – are available for free to any early care and education program.
The Early Learning Matters Curriculum was developed by Purdue University for the U.S. Department of Defense’s Military Community and Family Policy, Office of Child and Youth Programs.
