The essence of quality in early childhood services is embodied in the expertise and skills of the staff and in their capacity to build positive relationships with young children.
The striking shortage of well-trained personnel in the field today indicates that substantial investments in training, recruiting, com¬pensating, and retaining a high quality workforce must be a top priority.
• Responsible investments in services for young children and their families focus on benefits relative to cost.
Inexpensive services that do not meet quality standards are a waste of money.
Stated simply, sound policies seek maximum value rather than minimal cost.
