April 1, 2026
Oregon’s Early Learning Management System (Oregon ELMS) is a new, online platform that will bring together providers, licensing specialists, ERDC payments, and service coordination in one place. The goal is to help providers and families access information, complete tasks, and stay connected to the Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC).
What is Happening Now?
Through Spring 2026, DELC is completing the development of Oregon ELMS to ensure it meets immediate needs.
What to Expect Next?
Over the coming months, DELC will continue to share monthly Oregon ELMS updates with key information. Training opportunities for providers, partners, and families will be available in early summer 2026, and step-by-step instructions will be provided ahead of any required actions.
What This Means for Providers
When Oregon ELMS becomes available in Summer 2026, providers will be able to:
- Use one secure account to work with DELC in their preferred language
- Keep key information (contacts, payments, documents, staff connections, CBR enrollment) in one place
- Submit and track applications
- Bill for ERDC payments
- View notifications
- Track training requirements
These changes are designed to reduce paperwork, save time, and make it easier to focus on supporting children and families.
Upcoming Provider Information Sessions
The Provider Information Session coming up on April 22 will include more information about Oregon ELMS. Register Here for the April 22 session.
How Partners Can Help
Partners play an important role in supporting a smooth transition. You can help by:
- Reinforcing messages about Oregon ELMS with providers and families
- Encouraging providers to watch for updates and review communications from DELC
- Supporting awareness of upcoming training and preparation activities
More details will be shared in future updates as training dates and additional information sessions are confirmed.
