Welcome!

Welcome to the Tennessee Early Learning Developmental Standards (TN-ELDS) Online Training. This online training has been designed to provide an introduction to and exploration of the TN-ELDS in order to meet the TN Department of Human Services required training on developmental learning for pre-school age children.

There are two sets of standards--The TN-ELDS are the standards which address development of children from birth through 60 months of age. The School-Age developmental Standards address School-Age children from 5 years through 13 years of age. If you work with School-Age children, you should go to the training on the School-Age Developmental Standards. That training is found on the Tennessee Child Care Online Training System (TCCOTS) website.
