“Promoting Early Education Quality (PEEQ) is a statewide program of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension dedicated to encouraging the adoption of research- and evidence-based practices in all levels of the early education field. Established in 2004, the program supports early childhood educators in Texas and beyond by providing professional development training. Our award-winning program utilizes interactive technologies to deliver the latest research and best practices in health and safety, nutrition, and child development.

In addition to training teachers, caregivers, and administrators, we also train various groups who provide technical assistance for the early childhood workforce, such as Childcare Health Consultants, Texas Healthy Building Blocks Technical Assistance Consultants, and Childcare Regulation staff. We also collaborate with other state agencies, institutions of higher education, and other stakeholders on a variety of initiatives to improve Texas’ early education systems. In everything we do, we strive to make science-based practices accessible, actionable, and achievable for practitioners.

Program Highlights

Established Expertise: With a history spanning two decades, the childcare training program has become a trusted resource for early childhood educators, facilitating approximately 5 million online course completions since 2010.
Comprehensive Curriculum: Our online course platform offers over 200 courses tailored to the needs of early childhood educators, covering essential topics such as health, safety, nutrition, and child development.
Quality Assurance: We understand that quality matters in early childhood education. Research shows that children who receive high-quality care demonstrate better language, math, and social skills, among other benefits. By ensuring a well-trained workforce, we aim to provide the highest standard of care and education to children, preparing them for school and beyond.”

“The bipartisan Guidelines for User Age-Verification and Responsible Dialogue Act (GUARD Act, H.R. 8623, S. 3062) is a measured, necessary step to ensure innovation does not come at the expense of children’s safety. The Senate bill has been reported out of Senate Judiciary Committee by a unanimous vote and is pending floor action.
The GUARD Act establishes guardrails by requiring verifiable age checks before access to AI chatbots and prohibiting minors from using AI companions that simulate emotional or romantic attachment. The bill makes it unlawful to design or distribute AI systems that solicit sexual content from minors or promote violence or self-harm. The bill also mandates clear disclosure, so users know they are engaging with a machine – not a real person or professional.”
