VCOE is one of 30 grantees across California supporting Count, Play, Explore (CPE). CPE is designed to build capacity in early mathematics and science (including computer science) education for those who provide coaching and training for ECE professionals who serve children from birth to 3rd grade. CPE includes multiple statewide partners and is funded through the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools.

In addition to providing resources for trainers, CPE also has a website for families: https://countplayexplore.org/.

The VCOE team will be supporting STEM-related professional development opportunities for educators and collaborating with local partners at family and community events.
