Explain why quality early childhood education must include services to support families.

[brookeamy]

Answer:

Quality early childhood education must include support services for families as they are the primary supporters of children. If the family is supported then the child is more likely to receive the emotional and practical support necessary for healthy development. Positive relationships between educators and children, and educators and families is identified as a key indicator of quality care.
Early childhood education and care can contribute to the building of social capital by providing programs that strengthen family functioning. The long-term well-being of individuals and communities can be enhanced by promoting inclusive programs that value families as equal partners in early childhood programs.
