Description
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) is seeking information and recommendations for a comprehensive, evidence-based, and integrated early childhood curriculum platform. The platform must incorporate an approved curriculum, a formative assessment tool, and a robust family engagement component, all aligned with North Carolina's Foundations for Early Learning and Development. The platform should provide digital access to resources, teaching guides, and be explicitly centered around the 38 research-based objectives for development and learning. The State is looking for a solution that can support 4,330 NC Pre-K educators and provide a comprehensive, strengths-based, and research-based program for family engagement.
• The platform must be able to archive child portfolios and provide ongoing formative assessment tools.
• The solution must be able to expand and evolve to serve other State's sites.
• The vendor must provide a detailed point-by-point response to the RFI, including estimated total cost of ownership and annotated network drawings.
• The response should define all services that would be required by the proposed solution.
• The vendor must provide a comprehensive, unique, and truly responsive solution that meets all of the State's requirements.
