Oregon’s Early Learning Management System (Oregon ELMS) is a new, modern online platform that will bring together licensing, provider payments, and service coordination in one place — making it easier for DELC staff, partners, providers, and families to access information, complete tasks, and collaborate. This update shares the latest news on project progress, upcoming milestones, and how these changes connect to your work in supporting Oregon’s early learning system.
What Is Happening?
- Through April 2026, DELC will continue developing, testing, and refining Oregon ELMS to ensure it meets immediate needs, while also identifying and planning for future priorities and system enhancements.
- Monthly communications will share progress updates, key messages and action items. Messages will also include training-related information and system previews as details are confirmed.
- Training on how to use Oregon ELMS for child care providers, partners, and families will happen this summer.
The first monthly communication with more information about Oregon ELMS will be mailed and emailed to child care providers in early March.
