Description
Introduction and rationale Recent research in early childhood neurological development and economics has publicised the urgent need for quality early education (Heckman, 2008; Mustard, 2010). Mustard (2010) reports on the impact of environmental factors on children's neurological development and Heckman (2008) explains the positive long-term social and economic impacts of strong investment in programs for young children. These publications give renewed support to efforts that improve children's access to equitable quality early education around the world. Such efforts will focus on all levels of children's early education, including home care, child care, preschool and Prep. Since research has shown that the quality of a child's transition to school has a strong impact on early school success (CCCH, 2008a; Pianta&Kraft Sayre, 2003), it is included as an important component of quality early childhood education. The Education For All Global Monitoring Report states, 'Quality (Early Education and Care) programmes need to be reasonably staffed and equipped, and provide a smooth transition to primary school' (UNESCO, 2007, p. 28).
