Quality is defined as programs that focus on the whole child. The need for high quality care is much as we have discussed most important to low income children. Early childhood services promote motivation, confidence, good cognitive and linguistic development and school readiness.
For quality in programs materials should be many, culturally and developmentally appropriate and focus on child-centered interaction ( UNESCO, 2013).
Joy you have some great goals listed. These goals will at least get the wheels turning to ensure children have a running start on getting a equal and quality education.
