    NERD_0346 When ‘Quality’ Becomes a Dollar Sign

    Emily Clark, aka "EarlyEdEm" on instagram, has some thoughts to share about the impact of trying to make a profit off of attempts to assess quality in early childhood settings. Can true quality be commodified? Do attempts to make money off of quality child care fit with what research tells us are indicators of quality? We don't think so.  Thanks for listening!

    NERD_0345 When Conversations About Quality Erase the Child

    In the third episode of this series on "quality" in early care and education, play advocate Kisa Marx joins host Heather Bernt-Santy for an important conversation about how too often, our standards for quality do not center the child. As part of the conversation, they discuss Heather's decision to reject the industry standard descriptor  "developmentally appropriate" in favor of more child-centering terms like "developmentally informed" and "developmentally responsive."
