Boston EQUIP Associated Early Care and Education launched the Boston Early Education Quality Improvement Project (Boston EQUIP) in 1994 with a broad goal and mission - to collaborate with members of the Boston early education community to systematically evaluate, set goals for, and improve upon the quality of early childhood programs. In 1995, Boston EQUIP conducted its first inventory of the early education system in Boston, and used that data to establish a series of quality improvement benchmarks - goals for the field to attain in five key areas:
Boston EQUIP has since collected program level data three times - in 1997, 1999 and 2000/2001. For the first time in 2002, Boston EQUIP surveyed Boston's parents, collecting data on their early care and education needs and utilization, and their view of early care and education quality. Associated is currently in the production phase of the 2004 report. Visit Boston EQUIP's website at www.bostonequip.org |
