Structural features of early childhood education and care centres and quality

This chapter presents findings from the Starting Strong Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS Starting Strong) 2018 on the characteristics of early childhood education and care centres: where the centres are located, what types of centres exist, how many staff they employ and which children they serve. It explores how centre characteristics are associated with characteristics of staff, such as their qualifications, as well as practices in the centre. These practices include support for children’s development across different domains, as well as activities in response to children’s diverse cultural backgrounds. Since the transition from pre-primary education to primary school is a key milestone in a child’s educational path, the chapter also explores practices in support of smooth transitions and how they relate to centre characteristics.
