The Comprehensive Professional Development System (CPDS) addresses the professional development needs of early learning and development professionals to provide appropriate learning environments for the socio-emotional development, cognitive, language and literacy learning, as well as physical development needs of children from birth to kindergarten entry.

All early learning and development professionals will have access to coordinated professional development opportunities and ongoing supports that build their knowledge, competencies and skills for working with young children (birth through kindergarten entry) to achieve the outcomes of Ohio's Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge Grant (ELCG). The target audience for the CPDS is early learning and development professionals who are currently served by multiple state agencies and regional professional development (PD) networks.
