Eight Keys to Quality Infant Care

In Prime Times: A Handbook for Excellence in Infant and Toddler Programs, Anne Stonehouse, Gigi Schweikert, and the late Jim Greenman identified eight key concepts of quality programs for infants and toddlers:

• High expectations for every child
• Prime times — the importance of adult-child interactions
• Planned child-choice learning environments
• Emergent curriculum
• Developmentally appropriate instruction
• Making learning visible through documentation and display
• Full partnerships with parents
• Twenty-first century technology
