6 INTRODUCTION THE IMPORTANCE OF STRENGTHENING EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT Early childhood describes the period in a child s life between birth and eight years of age. It is the most rapid period of development in human life and a child s experience during this period has an enormous impact on the health, cognitive development, educational attainment, socialisation and productivity of older children and adults. International research has demonstrated that the quality of a child s early childhood experience makes a significant difference to school preparation and participation, completion and achievement and to the reduction in costs to society of remedial and rehabilitative actions in later childhood and adulthood. A longitudinal research study in Jamaica of a national representative sample of children entering primary school at age six years in 1999 and followed up in 2000 and 2003 (the Profiles Project) identified a number of factors affecting child well being, with a number of these affecting all or almost all child outcomes of learning and behaviour. These include; Socio-economic status Parental education Parental stress Reading books Early childhood learning environment The study s findings also demonstrated clearly that efforts to improve child outcomes must be comprehensive. Furthermore, interventions need to occur prior to primary school entry, as the negative impact of the identified factors on child development outcomes worsens with time. Both the international and Jamaican research has demonstrated what can make the difference for children s positive development in early childhood Early Childhood Commission 6

7 THE EARLY CHILDHOOD COMMISSION The Early Childhood Commission was established by an Act of Parliament, the Early Childhood Commission Act, in The Commission has the responsibility to ensure the integrated and coordinated delivery of early childhood programmes and services. The Commission, through its varying activities, will guide the holistic development of children, including physical, cognitive, social and emotional development. These activities will require collaboration among the authorities in health, education and child development services; parents; the public and private sector; NGO s and international development partners. The Commission will use lessons from research and experience to develop strategies to reach all children, but particularly the youngest and most vulnerable children in the country. The Early Childhood Commission has eight legislated functions, as described in The Early Childhood Commission Act (2003), one of which indicates direct responsibility for early childhood institutions: (a) advise the Minister on policy matters relating to early childhood care, education and development in Jamaica, including initiatives and actions to achieve national early childhood development goals; (b) assist in the preparation of plans and programmes concerning early childhood development; (c) monitor and evaluate the implementation of the plans and programmes referred to in paragraph (b) and, in respect thereof, make to the Minister such recommendations as it thinks fit; (d) act as coordinating agency to ensure effective streamlining of all activities relating to early childhood development; (e) convene consultations with relevant stakeholders as appropriate; (f) analyse needs and submit recommendations for budgetary allocations for early childhood development; (g) identify alternative financing through negotiation with donor agencies and liaise with such agencies to ensure effective and efficient use of donor funds; (h) supervise and regulate early childhood institutions; In order to successfully achieve the above mandate the Commission (i) Conduct Research in ECD. LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD INSTITUTIONS The legal framework applies to all early childhood institutions providing services to more than four children up to six years of age for at least six hours per day and at least four days per week; for a fee, whether privately owned or public; whether a day-care institution, a preschool, basic school, infant school or infant department. The framework is comprised of three documents: the Early Childhood Act (2005), 2007 Early Childhood Commission 7

8 the Early Childhood Regulations (2005) and the Standards for the Operation, Management and Administration of Early Childhood Institutions. THE EARLY CHILDHOOD ACT 2005 The Early Childhood Act requires operators of Early Childhood Institutions to apply for registration with the Early Childhood Commission and to facilitate the process of inspection (the registration and inspection processes are summarised in Appendix 1). The Act also requires that operators comply with specific personnel, physical, health and safety and other requirements to ensure that institutions offer a safe and stimulating environments in which children can play and learn. Failure to comply with the requirements of the Act carries significant legal consequences. The Act makes provisions for the Minister to make regulations (Section 23 (2) (b), including the provision of standards for the efficient operation of early childhood institutions. THE EARLY CHILDHOOD REGULATIONS 2005 The Early Childhood Regulations are subsidiary to the Act and are put in place to give effect to the provisions of the Early Childhood Act. Regulations generally give much more detail than an Act, and often include procedures and requirements which are more likely to change with time, allowing for easier and timelier amendments. Failure to comply with the Regulations also carries legal consequences, but the penalties are generally less severe than those in the Act. The Regulations make reference to this document in Regulation 20, p. 20, where it states that the operator of an early childhood institution shall ensure that the provisions of the Standards for the Operation, Management and Administration of Early Childhood Institutions issued from time to time by the Minister are adhered to as closely as is reasonably attainable by that institution, taking into account the resources of that institution. STANDARDS FOR THE OPERATION, MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION OF EARLY CHILDHOOD INSTITUTIONS In Jamaican law, there are two types of Standards; those promulgated by an Act or Regulations and which therefore carry legal consequences and those that serve to improve practice voluntarily and are not legally binding. For practical purposes, this Standards document includes both sets of standards, with clear indications of those standards that are legally binding. The Acceptable Category is highlighted, giving quick reference for self-evaluation Early Childhood Commission 8

9 HOW THE ACT, REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS WORK TOGETHER The Act and Regulations, which together comprise the legal requirements, specify the minimum levels of practice below which institutions will not be registered or allowed to operate. The standards that are not legally binding define best practices for early childhood institutions and serve to encourage institutions to raise their level of practice above minimum requirements. Institutions should try to achieve the highest possible standards to ensure the best outcomes for children. HOW TO USE THIS DOCUMENT This document reflects the result of extensive research both locally and internationally, on what makes a difference to children s outcomes. There are 12 standard statements, presented in Standards 1 to 12 of this document, each statement describing specific desired outcomes to be achieved (See below for Standard Statements). In each section, the standard statement is accompanied by a rationale, based on research evidence or identified best practice. The ability of an institution to meet the standard of practice is assessed by performance criteria which define the processes through which the standard is achieved. Each performance criterion generally has three categories; Needs Improvement (describing an unacceptable level of practice), Acceptable (describing an acceptable level of practice), and Good (describing a high standard of practice). The category of Good presumes that all criteria in the Acceptable category have been satisfied. Each category has a statement describing the level of practice relevant to that category. Prior to the Performance Criteria, the relevant sections of the Early Childhood Act and Regulations are stated, to make the reader aware of those performance criteria that are legally binding Also, the letters A ( Act), R ( Regulations) and V ( Voluntary) are written in a column beside each performance criterion to assist readers in identifying legal and voluntary standards. Additionally, the performance criteria for Voluntary Standards are written in blue. The Early Childhood Act is supported by other laws and regulations that existed before, e.g. the Public Health Act and Regulation. Laws and Regulations from other Ministries and government agencies are written in red. Where deemed necessary, Appendices are added to provide clarification and more detailed information, as well as to make reference to other laws and requirements of other Ministries and agencies that are referred to in the performance criteria Early Childhood Commission 9

10 STANDARD STATEMENTS Standard 1: STAFFING The staff at early childhood institutions has the characteristics, training, knowledge, skills, and attitude, to help children achieve their full potential. Standard 2: DEVELOPMENTAL/EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMES Early childhood institutions have comprehensive programmes designed to meet the language, physical, cognitive, creative, socio-emotional, spiritual, cultural and school readiness needs of children. Standard 3: INTERACTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH CHILDREN Early childhood staff has the characteristics, training, knowledge, skills and attitude to promote positive behaviours and reduce difficult and challenging behaviours in children. Standard 4: PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT Early childhood institutions have physical environments that meet building, health and safety requirements; allow adequate space for children and facilitate the development of children and staff Standard 5: INDOOR AND OUTDOOR EQUIPMENT, FURNISHING AND SUPPLIES Early childhood institutions have indoor and outdoor equipment and furnishings that are safe, child-friendly and promote optimal development of children. Standard 6: HEALTH Early childhood institutions have physical facilities, policies, programmes and procedures that promote healthy lifestyles and protect children and staff from illness. Standard 7: NUTRITION Early childhood institutions provide children in their care with nutritious meals and model good nutritional practices for children and families. Standard 8: SAFETY Early childhood institutions provide safe indoor and outdoor environments for children, staff, stakeholders and visitors to the institution. Standard 9: CHILD RIGHTS, CHILD PROTECTION AND EQUALITY Early childhood institutions uphold the rights of children, protect them from harm and ensure that all children have equal access to services. Standard 10: INTERACTIONS WITH PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS The management and staff of early childhood institutions have good relationships with parents, caregivers, family members and the community. Standard 11: ADMINISTRATION Early childhood institutions have a management structure that ensures good administration. There are plans, policies, procedures and programmes that ensure child, family and staff well-being. Standard 12: FINANCE Early childhood institutions have sound financial practices and adhere to standard accounting principles Early Childhood Commission 10

11 INSPECTION AND REGISTRATION Inspection of Early Childhood Institutions is the procedure designated under the Early Childhood Act for ensuring that operators comply with the minimum acceptable standards of practice. The Early Childhood Commission is required under the Act to inspect each Early Childhood Institution twice annually. It is a requirement of registration that the registered operator co-operates with the Early Childhood Commission s inspection process. The registered operator is defined as the person required to apply for registration of an early childhood institution and may be an individual or a group. In deciding on the suitability of an Early Childhood Institution for registration under the Early Childhood Act, the Early Childhood Commission will, based on information obtained at inspection visits, determine whether or not an Early Childhood Institution meets and complies with the Act and Regulations. Where existing provision falls short of the legal requirements, and the shortfall does not present a real and present danger to children, a permit to operate until full requirements are met will be granted, with time scales for institutions to meet requirements. It is acknowledged that some institutions may exceed minimum requirements in full or in some sections only. The Early Childhood Commission encourages the promotion of the highest standards of practice by monitoring not only the minimum requirements at inspection visits, but also by monitoring those standards that are not legally binding. EQUITY The Early Childhood Commission has a policy of equity. This means that the Act, Regulations and Standards apply to all institutions. All will be inspected and expected to comply Early Childhood Commission 11

12 STANDARD ONE Staffing 2007 Early Childhood Commission 12

13 STANDARD AND PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR STAFF Standard: The staff at early childhood institutions has the characteristics, training, knowledge, skills and attitude to help children achieve their full potential. Rationale: Children have the best developmental outcomes when teachers have high levels of general education and specialised training in early childhood development. Trained teachers possess the knowledge skills and attitudes to provide caring positive interactions with children and their families and a highly stimulating learning environment. Ongoing professional training and development of staff is necessary for staff members to keep up to date in their field, to maintain interest and to motivate staff to higher personal and professional development. 1.1 PERSONAL SUITABILITY OF EARLY CHILDHOOD PRACTITIONERS The standard of early childhood practitioners is affected by factors other than professional qualifications. Early childhood practitioners need to be of suitable character, free of serious criminal convictions, in good health and able to demonstrate positive attitudes to children s care, education and development. The Early Childhood Act: The Act requires that at registration, the applicant and all employees at an Early Childhood Institution have not been convicted of offences under the Dangerous Drug Act, the Offences Against the Person Act or the Child Care and Protection Act, or an offence involving fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude (Section 3 (3) (c), pg. 2). The Act also requires that employees be not infirmed of mind or body or otherwise incapable of operating or being employed in the institution (Section 3 (3) (f), pg. 3). The Act also states in the Second Schedule (Section 4) that the following should be submitted with every application for registration. (a) the prescribed fee; 2007 Early Childhood Commission 13

14 (b) two passport-sized photographs of the applicant; (c) (d) (e) a reference, in such form as may be prescribed by the Commission in regulations published in the Gazette, from any two of the following persons i. a Justice of the Peace; ii. a Minister of religion iii. an attorney-at-law; iv. the principal of an educational institution or the chairman of the Board of Management of an educational institution; v. a former employer of the applicant; vi. a Resident Magistrate or a Judge of the Supreme Court; or vii. a police officer above the rank of Inspector; a report, from an officer of the Jamaica Fire Brigade authorized by the Commissioner of the Brigade in that behalf, stating that the premises proposed for the operation of the institution have been inspected and that the officer is satisfied that reasonable steps are taken for the prevention of fire and other disaster; a report from a Medical Officer (Health), or any other person authorized in writing in that behalf by the Minister or by a Local Board or by the Medical Officer (Health), stating that the premises proposed for the operation have been inspected and are in compliance with the provisions of the Public Health Act; 2007 Early Childhood Commission 14

15 The Early Childhood Regulations: The Regulations make no specific comment on personal suitability. 1.1 PERFORMANCE CRITERIA: # CATEGORY NEEDS V Practitioners declaration of character A Practitioners Character Record A Staff Health Practitioners and support staff have not completed declaration of character form.

All practitioners and support staff have been medically certified to be in good health at employment Early Childhood Commission 15

16 1.2 PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS The standard of early childhood practitioners in Jamaica is established by the type and level of certification achieved (see Appendix 2). The term Early Childhood Practitioners describes all persons employed by Early Childhood Institutions to provide care, education and development services for children. The term therefore includes principals, teachers, and teachers assistants. The term includes registered operators of Early Childhood Institutions only when these persons have direct responsibilities for the care, education and development of children. Other professionals, such as cooks, who provide support services to children while in early childhood institutions, but who do not provide educational and developmental services should be trained in their field. The Early Childhood Act: The Act states that a person shall not operate an early childhood institution or shall not employ any person in the institution for the purpose of caring for the children therein unless they meet the qualifications prescribed in Regulations made by the Commission with the approval of the Minister (Section 15 (1, 2, & 4), pg. 11). The Act also states that a person who contravenes this subsection commits an offence (Section 15 (3), pg. 11). The Early Childhood Regulations: The Regulations state that: a. The operator and every employee of the institution have training in early childhood development by an institution approved by the Commission; (Regulation 6 (1) (a), pg. 2). b. the operator of an early childhood institution which provides care for children over 36 months shall employ at least one qualified teacher at the institution; (Regulation 6 (3), pg. 3) i. Qualified teacher means a person who, at minimum, has been issued a diploma by a recognized teacher training college. (Regulation 6 (6), pg 3) Early Childhood Commission 16

24 1.4 MINIMUM STAFFING LEVELS, PRACTITIONER-CHILD RATIOS, AND GROUP SIZE: There must be a minimum of two adults on the premises at all times, regardless of how few children are present. One of these adults should be a qualified early childhood practitioner at the Assistant Teacher II level or above and nominated as the designated person in charge. This allows children to be supervised by at least one adult in case of an emergency involving or occupying the attention of the other adult. The practitioner-child staffing levels, ratios and group size reflect the physical, psychological and emotional development needs of children of different ages and developmental stages. Higher ratios prevent the appropriate caregiver-child interactions upon which the outcomes for children depend, particularly for children who are vulnerable. Additionally higher ratios prevent adequate attention to health and safety. Operators of all Early Childhood Institutions should provide appropriate staffing levels, ratios and group sizes for optimal care, stimulation, education, emotional development and safety for the children entrusted to their care. Where children of mixed ages are present in a group, the practitioner child ratio is determined by the age of the youngest child or children. Practitioner-child ratios and group sizes mentioned below must be maintained at all times. There must be a strategy for temporary and emergency cover. In an emergency staffing situation, activities requiring low supervision (e.g. story telling, listening to music) should be scheduled and there must be options to call on practitioners who are on a break, if they are needed. Substitutes, students and volunteers without professional qualification, shall work under direct supervision of a qualified staff member and shall not be alone with a group of children. Support staff employed as administrators, cleaners, cooks and caretakers/handy-persons are not counted in staffing ratios. There must be sufficient support staff employed to avoid practitioners having to carry out tasks that are inappropriate to their roles and responsibilities. The Early Childhood Act: The Act has no comment on minimum staffing levels, practitioner-child ratios, or group sizes. The Early Childhood Regulations: The Regulations state that the operator of the institution shall ensure that children, while at the institution, are supervised at all times by a sufficient number of staff of the institution. A sufficient number of staff means a ratio of at least one member of staff to every 5 children under the age of one year, one member of staff to every 8 children between one to two years, and one member of staff to every ten children between three and five years. (Regulation 16 (4) (a e), pg. 15) Early Childhood Commission 24

27 1.5 OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Maintaining an optimum professional standard requires exposure to new ideas and advances in the field of child development, opportunities to refresh skills and support for improving levels of competence. Early childhood practitioners improve their professional development by undertaking in-service training courses, seminars or workshops. 1.5 PERFORMANCE CRITERIA: # CATEGORY NEEDS Opportunity for Less than 50% of Professional practitioners are given the V Development opportunity for professional development each year.

28 STANDARD TWO Development and Educational Programmes 2007 Early Childhood Commission 28

29 STANDARD AND PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FOR DEVELOPMENTAL / EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMES Standard: Early childhood institutions have comprehensive programmes designed to meet the language, physical, cognitive, creative, socio-emotional, spiritual, cultural and school readiness needs of children. Rationale: Research has consistently shown strong links between high quality early childhood programmes and children s language, physical, cognitive, creative, socio-emotional development and school readiness skills. Additionally, the quality of children s learning experiences at the early childhood level determine their success at primary and secondary education and their job opportunities as adults. Consequently, it is imperative that practitioners provide programmes that are developmentally appropriate and structured to meet the needs of the individual child. Programme planning must also allow for monitoring and accountability DEVELOPMENTAL /EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME PLANNING Advanced programme planning allows smooth delivery and assists in ensuring that programme objectives are met. Programme evaluation allows for continuous review and improvement of the quality of services offered. The Early Childhood Act: The Act makes no specific comment on programme plans. The Early Childhood Regulations: The Regulations state that every early childhood institution shall develop and implement a flexible daily programme plan.
