The ELM curriculum is grounded in extensive research and pilot-tested specifically in military CDC’s to meet the unique needs of military-connected children.
All JBMDL CDCs are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), ensuring our ELM implementation meets rigorous national quality standards.
ELM includes built-in observation and assessment plans. Our staff continuously monitors progress to tailor activities to your child’s unique learning pace, sharing updates with you during regular family conferences.
Program & Curriculum
At the JBMDL Child Development Centers, we proudly utilize the Early Learning Matters (ELM) Curriculum. Developed in Partnership with early childhood experts at Purdue University, specifically for the Department of Defense. ELM is a comprehensive, research-based curriculum designed to give our military children a strong foundation for school life and success.
Because ELM is utilized at DoD installations worldwide, it offers our military families incredible consistency. When you OCS to or from JBMDL, your child’s educational transition will be seamless– they will hear the same language, engage in familiar routines, and continue building on the same developmental milestones.
