Why Quality - Guiding Principles

  • We should have high expectations for all our children.
  •  There are individual differences in rates of development among children.
  • We expect every child will master each goal at their own pace and achieve their own degree of proficiency.
  • We expect families and programs to work together on a child's goals and achievements. Programs and families provide each other information and guidance to support learning and development.
  • We must encourage children to explore materials, engage in concrete activities, and interact with other children and adults to understand their world. • We need to help all programs reach the same high standards. For children cared for in homes, community supports are needed to support families and children to meet these goals.
