Deconstructing Quality: A Conceptual Framework for the New Paradigm in Day Care Provision for the Under Eights.

Munton, Anthony G.; And Others

Early Child Development and Care, v114 p11-23 Sep 1995

Argues that the issue of quality in day care provision for children is relative, but that the best alternative to a universally accepted definition of quality is a conceptual framework within which different definitions of quality can be constructed. Describes and develops six dimensions of quality in day care: effectiveness, acceptability, efficiency, access, equity, and relevance. (AP)
