Finding High-quality Early Care and Education

You can find quality early care and education in child care centers and in family child care homes. While all quality programs may not look alike, you should look for specific elements to help you identify high-quality programs. Print a copy of the Smart Start San José Program Quality Standards poster in either English, Spanish, and/or Vietnamese.

Benefits: Lifelong Achievement Begins with Quality Early Care and Education

Quality early care and education programs prepare children, not only for school, but also for lifelong social and emotional success. Children who participate in quality early care and education programs do better in school, plus have a greater chance of graduating from high school, getting a job, and/or going on to higher education.
