Selected presentations:

What is good daycare? A Swedish perspective [2]

"In the preschool the children's understanding of democracy starts. They are given responsibility for their own acts and for the preschool environment."

Achieving multi-dimentional quality in early childhood programs [3]
- Dr. Thelma Harms
"Quality must be defined as a multidimensional construct that meets the three basic needs of children: Protection of children's health and safety, nurturing emotional and pro-social development, and providing intellectual stimulation through play and hands-on activities."

Child care quality: How and why it matters for children's development [4]
- Dr. Margaret Tresch Owen
"The quality of early experience matters for children's development and well-being."

Quality and predictors of quality in Canadian child care [5]
