| What We Know & Don't Know About Measuring Quality in Early Childhood & School-Age Care and Education | Measures assessing the quality of children?s environments and interactions in nonparental care settings were developed originally for use in child care research and as self-assessment tools for practitioners.

As new demands are placed on quality measures to be used in accountability systems, important questions emerge about how measures function in these new contexts and in what ways measurement strategies could be strengthened. This brief provides an overview of what we know and what we don?t know, given the current status of the research, about three key questions concerning the measurement of quality.
