Early Learning Hub of Clackamas County
Early Learning Matters!
Decades of research has shown that the first five years of a child's life are important brain building years that shape our children's futures. Quality early learning experiences are predictors of health, happiness, growth, development and learning achievement at school. Quality early Learning Experiences assure that children arrive at Kindergarten ready to learn and have successful experiences that lead to life long health and development.
With the passage of the historic Student Success Act, Oregon is poised to increase the amount of available Early Care and Education opportunities across the state. To learn more about Early Learning in the Student Success visit these websites-

What are Early Learning Hubs?
Early Learning Hubs
The Early Learning Division of the Oregon Department of Education provides funding to Early Learning Hubs to convene cross sector partners to work together toward a shared vision and shared goals. There are 16 Early Learning Hubs in Oregon, supporting systems development and programs for children, prenatally through six and their families. Early Learning Hubs collaborate with early childhood programs to translate the research on early development into result-oriented interventions and programs.
Early Learning Hub Goals
Goal 1: Aligned, coordinated, and family-centered early childhood system
Goal 2: Children receive the early learning experiences they need to thrive and be successful in school and life
Goal 3: Families receive the support they need to be healthy, stable and attached
