Quality Counts
Quality Matters When It Comes to Our Children!
Parents rely on childcare not only to enable them to work, but also to provide early education experiences that help prepare their children for life. Recent research suggests that quality childcare programs enhance the development of young children. In fact, studies have found that compared to children who attended lower quality childcare, children who participated in high-quality childcare programs:- Demonstrate better math & language skills
- Develop better interpersonal relationships
- Develop stronger behavioral self-regulation
- Have higher lifetime incomes
Unfortunately, some parents do not know what quality childcare programs look like. Even for families who can identify a quality program, the time and effort required to do so can be frustrating.
