Early childhood programs in the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma have joined forces to improve outcomes for young children and their families. Their Tribal Early Learning Initiative (TELI) is working to create and support a seamless, high-quality early childhood system serving families from pregnancy to kindergarten entry.
The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma is one of six tribal organizations to receive TELI funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF). They also receive a grant from ACF’s Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (TMIECHV) program.
