PDG B-5 Activity Resources

In December 2018, Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG B-5) funds were awarded to 46 states and territories. The PDG B-5 grants are designed to fund states and territories to conduct a comprehensive statewide birth through five needs assessment, followed by in-depth strategic planning, while enhancing parental choice and expanding the current mixed-delivery system consisting of a wide range of provider types and settings, including child care centers and home-based child care providers, Head Start and Early Head Start programs, state prekindergarten programs, and home visiting service providers across the public, private, and faith-based sectors.

The topical pages below provide resources for the PDG B-5 grantees. Each page focuses on a major activity of the PDG B-5 grant requirements.
