Inclusion Toolkit Supporting Inclusive Preschool Practices for Preschool through 3rd Grade Alignment Toolkit
This Toolkit is provided by the California Department of Education (CDE) as non-binding
guidance to support inclusive preschool practices.
This Toolkit is intended as a resource for program improvement and technical
assistance. It does not encompass all communications, documentation, or reporting
necessary to meet statutory or regulatory requirements, including those required of
California State Preschool Program (CSPP) contractors under the EC and Title 5 of the
California Code of Regulations. Contractors remain responsible for fulfilling all legal and
contractual reporting, documentation, and compliance obligations prescribed by law and
by their funding terms and conditions.
It does not establish new legal obligations, rights, or entitlements and should be interpreted consistently with existing federal and state law, including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. § 1400 et seq.), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Education Code (EC) Section 8208.
