    House Bill 15 (Delaware Play to Learn Act) legis.delaware.gov

    Introduced on January 30, 2025

    The Delaware Play to Learn Act protects the ability of early childhood educators from preschool to 3rd Grade to re-incorporate play-based learning back into their academic lessons in ways that encourage movement, creative expression, and exploration, as well as the social, emotional and cognitive development of students. HB 15 also would allow local school districts and the Delaware Department of Education to provide early-childhood educators with ongoing professional development to help facilitate wider adoption of play-based learning methods.

    House Bill 12 (Scholarships for Future Teachers) legis.delaware.gov
