Oregon’s Early Learning Management System (Oregon ELMS) is coming soon! This new, modern online system will bring together licensing, provider payments, and service coordination in one place – making it easier for partners, providers, families, and DELC staff to access information, complete tasks, and work together.
As we move closer to launch this summer, we’re excited to share what’s happening now and what you can expect next.
What’s Happening Now?
The project team is making strong progress to ensure Oregon ELMS is ready for a smooth and successful launch. Current work includes:
- Making sure information from current systems transfers accurately into Oregon ELMS
- Confirming Oregon ELMS works seamlessly with other systems
- DELC staff and partners are walking through real tasks and workflows to ensure the system works as expected
- Continuing regular check-ins with teams and partners across the state
Optional Training Opportunities Are Coming Soon
We are preparing to begin training! Here is a look-ahead at the training timeframes planned for various groups. The project team is actively working to confirm scheduling details – more information to be communicated soon. Training cohorts with tentative dates are anticipated within the following timeframes:
- 6/1 – 6/12: DELC Staff
- 6/15 – 6/18: Partners
- 6/22 – 7/2: Providers
- 7/6 – 7/10: Families
We’ll share more details soon, including how to sign up and what to expect. These trainings will help you feel confident using Oregon ELMS from day one. These trainings will be recorded – instructions to watch the recordings will be shared at a later date.
