Explore Minnesota's Early Learning Standards online

Minnesota's Early Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIPs) are now available in a new, interactive online format.

The ECIPs support early childhood professionals, families, and caregivers by providing guidance on children's learning and development from birth through kindergarten. The new website makes it easier to explore the standards with keyword search and filtering tools that help users quickly find specific skills, concepts, and learning areas.

The ECIPs can help:

• Guide planning for learning experiences and teaching strategies
• Support authentic assessment of young children
• Strengthen engagement with families and caregivers
