What is Quality?<\/h2><\/div>

Quality early learning and care means learning environments, relationships, interactions, and activities support all children’s growth and development to prepare them for success in school and life.<\/p>\n

Quality Counts Humboldt provides a variety of quality improvement programs designed to support child care providers with professional development, goal-setting, and higher education. Numerous studies show that when children receive high quality care and education during their early years, they are better prepared for school, better readers, and more likely to graduate high school.<\/p>\n

These outcomes benefit every child and family in our community.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
