Early Learning

Welcome to the Early Learning Hub where you can access high-quality, peer-reviewed Pre-K resources for preschool educators, students, and parents.

About Hub

Through play, relationships, and instruction, preschool education provides children with an opportunity to develop skills and knowledge across all content areas. Teachers facilitate this development by guiding and empowering students through challenges. Through positive preschool experiences, children learn responsibility, persistence, citizenship, communication skills, reasoning, effective questioning, and more. The learning experiences provided in early childhood help children grow into well-rounded learners. The resources available in this hub are intended to support preschool educators in educating Utah's early learners.
