Alabama Early Learning Guidelines
The Alabama Early Learning Guidelines (AELG) are a guide to the building blocks necessary to prepare each child for future success in school and life and intended to be inclusive of all children. The Alabama Early Learning Guidelines are a result of a collaboration of The Alabama Department of Human Resources (DHR) and various stakeholders across the state.

Learn about the nine modules.
