Components of program quality that relate to positive outcomes for children:
Researchers have identified six major components of program quality:
— Health and safety
Quality programs have policies and procedures in place to ensure that children are kept safe and well (American Academy of Pediatrics, 2011).
— Well-trained teachers
Quality programs have teachers who have received education and training specifically related to the care and education of young children Numerous studies have found a significant positive relationship between teachers who hold a BA and children's later success in elementary school. Other studies demonstrate that in addition to credentials, ongoing professional development for teachers positively influences program quality
— Group size and teacher—child ratio
Research strongly indicates that smaller class sizes and lower teacher—child ratios are associated with greater educational effectiveness and other benefits
— Warm, nurturing, and language-rich interactions between teachers and children
Children who have positive relationships with their teachers are more likely to do well in later school experiences. Teachers with specialized early childhood training are most likely to engage in good relationships and use rich language in their interactions with children.
— Appropriate curriculum and assessment
In high-quality programs, teachers offer learning opportunities appropriate for the children enrolled. They regularly assess children's progress using comprehensive early learning standards and use this information to inform their curriculum
— Comprehensive support services
High-quality programs offer a variety of support services for young children and for their families. These include one or more meals offered during the day.
