Whether you’re a first-time parent or a well-seasoned one, choosing an early childhood program can be tough! The American Psychological Association (APA) just published a new guide with “must ask” questions for parents seeking a quality program. They recommend spending some time in the program, and finding answers to 5 main questions: (1) What’s happening in the classroom?; (2) How are teachers and children getting along?; (3) How do teachers guide and, when needed, redirect children’s behaviors?; (4) How do teachers talk with children?; and (5) How do teachers communicate with parents? The following webpage contains links to the “High 5” brochure as well as an annotated bibliography: High Five: Searching for the Best Early Childhood Program
