“At the forefront of early childhood, Maryland stands as a beacon to the nation in its comprehensive quality service provision. Now, with MECLP, Maryland again takes a leadership position…for leaders!! Well-designed and offering a rich repertoire of experiences, MECLP is precisely the kind of experience individuals need as they take on leadership roles in early childhood education and care. As such, MECLP provides a necessary and exciting contribution to advancing early childhood in the state and the nation. Maryland leads, again and again!!”
