Quality Programs for ALL Children...

When I consider quality programs for all children, I think about having very high-quality standards for early childhood programs. It is important that children have the best educational experiences during the early years. High-quality and developmentally appropriate early childhood programs produce positive effects on the development of a child's cognitive and social development. Over the next five years I hope public opinion will change in that every child and family will receive the highest quality of early childhood education at no cost to the family. This change in public opinion will influence early childhood education sociocultural factors, economic factors, and politics/policy factors. The related implications for young children, families, and the early childhood field would be every child, every day, succeeding.
