Alignment with State Standards

The FunShine Express® Curriculum Design and Development Team strives to create early learning materials that are reflective of evidence-based best practices and are aligned with early learning standards and guidelines across the nation.

Use of curriculum may be creditable for training units, clock hours, or continuing education units in your state. Learn more about training credits here.

We are confident our early learning materials meet or exceed the standards set forth by states and early childhood organizations.
