Parents are offered an opportunity to make an informed choice as child care consumers. Community dollars can be invested wisely in programs that ensure positive outcomes for children. ( p. 1) What is accreditation and what constitutes quality child care? This exploration of childcare in Alberta proposes an accreditation system that establishes quality criteria to ensure good programming while giving parents, the community and government the information needed to make informed decisions.
