IQPPS Foundations Video Collection

This video collection is primarily intended for preschool program administrators and coaches, and may be helpful also for other preschool staff. The purpose of these videos is to provide an overview of the Iowa Quality Preschool Program Standards. The videos highlight the required criteria within each program standard, and other key points to consider. Helpful resources, which can be accessed as hyperlinks within presentation slides, are offered throughout each of the videos in this collection.
 
The videos were developed through a collaborative partnership with early childhood consultants from Iowa’s Area Education Agencies.
