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
Bottom line, activities that infants, toddlers, and preschool students engage in can shape the way they think, learn, and behave for the
rest of their lives.
