Purposes of the NH Early Learning Standards The New Hampshire Early Learning Standards are a statewide resource for everyone who loves, cares for, and educates young children. The Standards provide essential information to support and enhance children’s development and learning. New Hampshire’s Early Learning Standards: • Provide a resource about children’s development from birth through age five; • Promote a whole-child approach that affirms that learning and development are interrelated and build on previous learning; • Acknowledge, honor, and embrace the tremendous diversity and variation that exists for children and families; • Recognize and celebrate what children learn to help plan for the next stages of growth and development; • Align with the NH Kindergarten Readiness Indicators, which are aligned with the NH College and Career Ready Standards; • Provide a list of resources for more information about children’s learning and development; and • Guide the choice of developmentally appropriate curriculum, teaching strategies, and assessment.
