Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education Strategic Plan
This strategic plan outlines a two-phased approach to expand access to Alabama's First Class Pre-K program, aiming to address significant demand and uneven enrollment across counties. Phase 1 focuses on achieving 50% statewide access by adding approximately 250 classrooms in high-priority counties and increasing grant amounts. Phase 2 aims to expand beyond 50% access through significant investments in facilities, competitive teacher salaries, expanded support services like transportation and after-school care, and strengthening the early childhood workforce. The plan seeks to ensure high-quality learning opportunities for all Alabama children, improve academic and social-emotional outcomes, and build a stronger future for the state.
