Minnesota Early Childhood Core Compentencies

For Early Childhood Education and Care Practitioners who work with children birth through age eight and their families.

The core competencies are designed to serve as a guide for improving your work with children and families. The competencies are worded so they can be measured or demonstrated. You may also find the core competencies contain new ideas or provide a new way of reflecting on your teaching. This publication is designed to be a practical and living document, and we hope you will enjoy using it. We also hope you will contribute to the ongoing refinement of core competencies for early education and care practitioners in our state. In this way you will be ultimately contributing to the healthy growth and development of infants, toddlers, and young children throughout Minnesota.
