Why does quality matter in early learning?

· 90% of a child’s brain develops before age 5. The positive, nurturing relationships young kids have with adults – from parents to childcare and early learning professionals – shape their learning now and throughout their lives.

· Quality early learning settings like childcare and preschool help children develop skills – like motivation, self-control, focus, and self-esteem – that are crucial to their success now and once they enter school.

What does quality early learning look like?

Quality childcare and preschool settings build on basic health and safety to include:

· Teachers and caregivers who know how to work with infants, toddlers and preschoolers

· Positive, nurturing relationships that give young kids the individual attention they need

· Learning environments that encourage creativity and imaginative play

· Hands-on activities that stimulate and encourage positive brain connections in children; and,

· Caregivers who provide regular feedback to parents on the development of their child. All of these elements combined make a childcare environment that prepares children for kindergarten.
