This document introduces the Preschool Through Third Grade (P-3) Learning Progressions, serving as a roadmap for educators, administrators, and instructional coaches. It outlines how early knowledge and skills in key domains, including Approaches to Learning, Social and Emotional Development, Language and Literacy Development, Mathematics, and Science, evolve from preschool through third grade. The progressions promote continuity in learning by aligning with existing state standards and emphasize culturally sustaining, play-based learning experiences that cater to diverse backgrounds and individual developmental needs.
