PDG B-5
OPSR’s Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG B-5) Renewal Grant project addresses the most pressing needs of Oklahoma’s Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) workforce, children, families, and communities. The primary goal of Oklahoma’s PDG B-5 project is to support a coordinated and collaborative ECCE system that builds the capacity of families, communities, and public and private organizations to provide children birth to age 5 with seamless access to supports they need to thrive.
PRESCHOOL DEVELOPMENT GRANT
Oklahoma has been awarded a $14.7 million Preschool Development Grant Birth–Five (PDG B-5), administered through the Oklahoma Partnership for School Readiness (OPSR), to strengthen the state’s early childhood system. This one-year federal investment is specifically focused on systems-building work—improving coordination across programs, stabilizing the child care workforce, and strengthening the infrastructure that supports children and families statewide. Rather than funding direct classroom or subsidy expansion, the grant is designed to make Oklahoma’s Birth–Five system more connected, efficient, and sustainable. Through improved data tools, stronger partnerships, and clearer pathways into Pre-K and Kindergarten, this effort will help ensure more children enter school ready to succeed.
