Read Aloud Delaware has partnered with a national nonprofit, LENA, to bring LENA Start to the state. During the program, families will receive 10 free children’s books and guidance from a member of Read Aloud Delaware’s team virtually or in person. LENA Start groups meet weekly for ten engaging, facilitated sessions virtually through Zoom or in-person if needed.
Every state’s quality system is designed to answer an important question: is a program providing high-quality care and learning experiences for children?
Yet quality is a moving target — in how it’s defined, how it’s measured, how it’s communicated, what it means for children in the classroom. As states evolve their approaches – some using rating systems and others emphasizing continuous quality improvement – understanding the indicators that matter most has never been more important.
