One of the most effective ways to help people understand what quality early education can do for our children, families and communities is to learn about individual stories from parents, teachers, and others in the community.

Each year, the Office of Child Development and Early Learning publishes and annual report that includes testimonials and we’d like to include yours! You can also include photos that we can post online with your story. Please note: you will need to register or login to submit your story online. If you receive the Build or OCDEL Comm listservs, you are registered, and should ask the system to email your username and password to you.

We will also publish your story on the PA Promise for Children website, and it will be highlighted on various web pages.

Your story can

  • Help other parents looking for help learn more about quality early learning opportunities available to them;
  • Help our policymakers understand how Pennsylvania’s early childhood initiatives make a real difference in the lives of real people; and
  • Encourage continued public and private investment in quality early education in Pennsylvania!

What to include in your story:

  1. The OCDEL program(s) you participate in (Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts, Keystone STARS, Child Care Works, Early Intervention, Nurse-Family Partnership, Head Start Supplemental, etc.)
  2. How your child, or children and families in your program, benefit from OCDEL programs
  3. Why you believe Pennsylvania should invest in quality early education.

You can email, fax, or submit your story online. By submitting your story, you are agreeing to have it published on websites and printed materials. If you would like your name and/or organization to be kept confidential, please write that in your story and we will remove it.

Please note: If you receive the Build ECE News or OCDEL Community Education Listserv, you have already been registered to the site, and should ask the system to email you your username and password. Otherwise, please register to the site to submit your story.
