Conducting a statewide comprehensive Needs Assessment is a foundational activity in Maryland’s PDG B-5 grant. In spring 2019, the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), Maryland Department of Health (MDH), and the Maryland Department of Human Services (MSDH), in partnership with Ready At Five, held a series of regional town hall meetings on the State’s early care and education system. Additional stakeholder Focus Groups were also held to gather additional information that will inform the development of the state’s Needs Assessment.
