Publisher Description: What is quality, what does it look like, and how do we achieve it? This touching and eye-opening documentary follows several early care and education professionals at an urban child care center over the course of a three-year improvement initiative. Using a proven system, you see the low-quality center transform into an educational opportunity for young children. Research has shown that high-quality early learning programs set children up for future success. These children are less likely to drop out of school, require special education services, or be incarcerated. They are more likely to graduate high school, pursue a higher degree, and be productive citizens. When we transform one center, we touch the lives of dozens of children, teachers, and the community they are a part of. Beyond Babysitting shows all of us what it takes to improve the child care system and transform it into an early learning system we will all benefit from for generations. Available with closed captioning and English or Spanish subtitles. Delaware Valley Association for the Education of Young Children is dedicated to bringing high-quality child care and education to children from birth to age eight in southeastern Pennsylvania. With more than two thousand active members, they are one of the largest NAEYC affiliates. The DVAEYC works to ensure educational opportunity for every child through coaching of programs and providers on best practices and career development. Its active membership acts as a strong platform for advocating at the government level for improved investment in education and sheds a light on the education gap. |
