About Pennsylvania's Promise for Children

Quality early learning is crucial to our young children’s intellectual, social and emotional development. The benefits that our children and families experience from quality early learning opportunities extend to all of our communities by making it possible for parents to work and build a stable family structure for their children; by increasing our children’s success in school and in life; and in turn by creating a stronger workforce and tax base today and in the future. Programs that increase access to quality early learning, such as those administered by the Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL) and its partners, are a vital part of Pennsylvania’s overall goal to make the Commonwealth an attractive place to live and work.

Pennsylvania's Promise for Children is a coordinated statewide campaign to raise awareness about the value of quality early learning for all of our young children and build responsibility among every Pennsylvanian for the early learning of the young children in their lives.
