????could someone describe this?  Is this government run?  Home care?  What is it?[/quote]

It starts with having teachers who are educated in early childhood education who understand early childhood development and can implement classrooms and strategies that support learning during the different developmental phases. Those teachers must make a live able salary in order to attract students to commit to the programs and by live able salary I mean on par with public school teacher salaries. [/quote]

Thank you for chiming in Teacher Union rep[/quote]

Sorry but no, I am not a teacher at all. Someone asked what makes high quality childcare and it's well established that having trained, quality teachers is the first step.  Look at your standard daycare in downtown DC and who is working there now.  If you replaced those staff with trained, educated degreed teachers who understood early childhood development (infant - age 3), then the quality of care would go up.  Not the actual physical care of children which pretty much any nice person can be trained to do but the "education" part of care that is equated with closing achievement gaps later in life like speaking with children one on one and teaching appropriate behavior through positive means.[/quote]
