The Kansas Early Childhood (EC) programs have unified into an Early Learning Services Unit (ELSU) under the Kansas Department of Education. 

 Located in the Special Education Services team, members of the Early Learning Services Unit have responsibilities including coordinating the many early childhood programs located in KSDE, providing Technical Assistance to early childhood personnel in programs across the state, and participating in meetings, coordinating councils, and conferences that occur across Kansas. Early childhood includes the continuum of birth to age eight (3rd grade).
