In 2013, Georgia introduced its latest set of high-quality, research-based early learning standards for children birth to age five called the Georgia Early Learning and Development Standards (GELDS). The GELDS are the result of a two-year alignment study and revision project that began in 2010. The purpose of the GELDS is to promote quality learning experiences for children and address the question, "What should children from birth to age five know and be able to do?" They are a set of appropriate, attainable standards and are designed to be flexible enough to support children's individual rates of development, approaches to learning, and cultural context.
This channel is dedicated to provide the latest information and resources on the GELDS. It's for teachers, administrators, families and anyone interested in the learning and development of Georgia's youngest learners.
