To address changing needs for Early Education and Early Childhood reporting in Minnesota, Early Education has moved to the Campus Core State Program area.
Tool Search: Early Education
The Early Education tool records the basic information concerning an EE program, including program details, funding source, and caregivers. EE programs are designed to serve children who are not yet at school enrollment age. Information recorded for this program is reported via the Ed-Fi Student Early Education Program Associations Resource.
