Learn how exemplary countries are dealing with the challenges and joys of advancing the development of their youngest citizens. In this book, Sharon Lynn Kagan and her contributors systematically examine how six diverse countries go about envisioning, designing, and implementing their services to young children and their families. The Early Advantage 1 sheds light on new and exciting approaches to early childhood education and care (ECEC) that are contributing to the quality, equity, efficiency, and sustainability of services for young children. Brimming with fresh insights, the text provides concrete examples of successfully implemented strategies and methods that warrant attention from other countries wishing to improve their early childhood services. The 2-year comparative analysis upon which this volume is based was made possible with funding and support from the National Center on Education and the Economy’s (NCEE) Center on International Education Benchmarking.

“Kagan and her team describe a field at a very important inflection point, and they provide a framework for pushing on to the next stage.”
—From the Foreword by Marc Tucker, National Center on Education and the Economy

“Pushes the early childhood field far beyond its traditional focus on services toward understanding systems, culture, governance, and sustainability.”
—Hirokazu Yoshikawa, New York University

“A must-read for all those seeking to meet the joys and challenges of advancing the development of their youngest citizens.”
—Linda Darling-Hammond, Stanford University
