H.R.8859

Creating Early Childhood Leaders Act aims to enhance principals' and school leaders' knowledge of early childhood education.

The Creating Early Childhood Leaders Act seeks to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to improve principals' and school leaders' understanding of early childhood education. Recognizing the significant impact of early childhood education on later life outcomes, the Act emphasizes the need for school leaders to have training in early childhood education. This includes understanding child development, social and emotional development, and effective instructional leadership skills for children from birth through age 8.
