Ensuring all Oklahoma children are safe, healthy, eager to learn and ready to succeed by the time they enter school.
About us
In 2003 House Bill 1094 created our organization, the Oklahoma Partnership for School Readiness (OPSR). This legislation recognized more state-level action is required to successfully support families and children from birth to five-years-old. At this state level, OPSR engages and informs policy makers and the public on how to improve children’s health and development. Together, we lead public and private partnerships, so that children arrive at school with the knowledge, skills and physical and emotional health to achieve success. We also utilize data, research and best practices that engage parents, nonprofit leaders, community partners and business leaders to inform recommendations to the Governor and legislature. The Oklahoma School Readiness Pathway serves as our roadmap to identify, monitor and report how Oklahoma is or isn’t meeting school readiness benchmarks. This pathway brings the latest research to the forefront and identifies areas for improvement in programs, policies and funding. Ultimately, our goal is for Oklahoma’s early childhood system to be coordinated, aligned and adequately funded.

Life can feel overwhelming at times and kids need time to retreat and slow down. Complete with pillows and blankets, these turtle sandboxes give kids a calm, safe place to go to process their emotions. The Oklahoma Clearinghouse recently distributed nearly 250 sandboxes to providers who participated in Pyramid Model trainings. #calmingcorners
