The Technical Assistance System is dedicated to the
improvement in the quality of all early childhood programs. The voluntary system enhances the state’s
capacity to effectively support and monitor Early Care and Education
programs. Technical Assistance is a multi-level process of a range of
on-site assistance which includes guidance, consultation, modeling, and support
that strengthens the quality of care provided to infants, toddlers,
preschool, and school-age children.

South Carolina is committed to high quality early care and
education experiences as a key aspect of an early learning system. The
State has long recognized the importance of ongoing professional development
for educators of young children. SCDSS currently requires licensed child
care providers to complete 15 hours of training annually. Public schools
provide professional development for their 4K teachers, as do the federally
funded Head Start program. Increased interest in school readiness
initiatives has resulted in a need for guidance and support to improve the
quality of instruction and learning environments for young children.
