Check your document one more time as you prepare to upload it to the Maryland EXCELS System.

Your document should include a statement that describes how the materials you select and use:

• Are developmentally appropriate for children enrolled in your program
• Are accessible to all the children
• Promote multiple modes of exploration and learning
• Reflect the children’s interests, cultures and languages of the children
• Support children of all abilities
• Are rotated

Use a file name you can find easily when you upload it to the system (example: learning-materials.docx)

Use any one of these formats:

• Typed electronic version of your statement (examples: Microsoft Word, PDF)
• Scanned versions of your statement (examples: PDF, PNG, JPG)
• Digital image of your statement  (examples: JPG, PNG, PDF)
• Identified section within your handbook (examples: PDF, PNG, JPG)

Log into the Maryland EXCELS System to upload your written statement of the selection and use of materials in your program.
