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.

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."

In this episode, care advocate and author Carol Garboden Murray and host Heather Bernt-Santy share stories of being told that if we want anyone to pay attention to early childhood, we need to stop talking about "care." How in the world did we get here? There is no "quality" without "care."

It's Heather and Lizz Nolasco again! After we recorded the episode on Lilian Katz's stages of preschool teacher development, Lizz had a great idea--a series of episodes focused on Lilian's work called "Katz Ladies!" In this second episode of the series, they discuss an essay she wrote, published in a 1995 collection called Talks with Teachers of Young Children, where Katz discusses the differences between practices in early childhood that contribute to self esteem and those that tend more toward narcissism.Want more Nerd content, like free quarterly webinars and 1:1 zoom conversations?

In her article Both/And: Early Childhood Education Needs Both Play and Equity, consultant Ijumaa Jordan writes, "All children have a right to play. All children learn through play, not as enrichment but as a foundational context. Public outcry that play is disappearing from early childhood ignores the elephant in the room: this worrisome trend impacts young children unequally. Early education is segregated by race and class in the same way K–12 education is. Play-centered advocacy must dismantle oppressive educational systems that deny access to play based on race and class."
