Why Quality Matters

The early years of a child’s life are a critical time for brain development. A child’s early experiences can have a positive impact on their current development as well as brain connections that will last a lifetime. The evidence is convincingly clear. High-quality early learning programs, which include well-qualified teachers, research-based curriculum and assessments and family engagement, are essential to nurturing young bodies and minds.

High-quality early child care programs ensure a strong foundation for success. Programs that provide children with the best possible start are investments in our community's future.
