CCSSO is committed to supporting each state's role in creating the structures and supports that help students enter kindergarten ready to learn and ultimately graduate high school ready for college, careers, and life. The Early Childhood Education (ECE) collaborative's focus is on ensuring students have access to high-quality, developmentally appropriate early childhood education that prepares them for PreK and elementary school. This collaborative is one example of CCSSO's commitment to students on every step of their journey to be successful in school.
