Quality Matters in Early Childhood Education and Care<br />

swEdEn<br />

Early childhood education and care (ECEC) can bring a wide range of benefits – for children, parents and<br />

society at large. However, these benefits are conditional on “quality”. Expanding access to services without<br />

attention to quality will not deliver good outcomes for children or long-term productivity benefits for society.<br />

This series of country reports focuses on quality issues. Each report tackles a specific theme that was<br />

selected by the country reviewed. These reports suggest strengths and point to areas for further reflection<br />

on current policy initiatives.<br />
