Early Education Act

The Early Education Act provides a statutory framework for early childhood education programs in the jurisdictions that adopt it. It sets out the act's general terms — its scope, definitions, and basic requirements — and then establishes the administrative machinery through which an early education program is operated, assigning oversight and implementation responsibility to a designated governing authority. Its principal mechanism is administrative: rather than operating programs directly, it creates the structure under which they are established, supervised, and carried out.
