Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2002

Quick Quality Check for Infant and Toddler Programs is a quick, practical and easy-to-use method for monitoring care in infant and toddler classrooms. Designed for center and program directors, Quick Quality Check helps directors evaluate both the quality and consistency of care provided in their infant and toddler programs – all in a method that doesn’t take an unrealistic amount of time out of their busy day.

Four comprehensive chapters focus on the specifics of the Quick Check method for both infant and toddler age-groups, as well as how to implement the system and – if necessary – adapt your program after evaluation.
