Abstract

Early childhood education is an important stage in a person’s educational journey. Countries around the world have started to mandate early childhood education and consequently, many have developed framework or curriculum for learning during these early years. However, whether these are implemented appropriately requires quality assurance. This paper looks at the state of quality assurance for early childhood education in several countries. Specifically, governance, quality dimensions and quality assurance practices are analysed. Findings may be used to develop a quality assurance framework or to enhance existing quality assurance practices in early childhood education.
