To begin with children, think about each child’s experience throughout each day. For example, does each child spend the time he is awake and aware doing interesting things with people who care about him? Or does he spend a lot of time being “warehoused” in poor quality child care or in front of a TV? Does he transition between a reasonable number of caregivers for his age? This is beginning with the CHILD’S experience – that is, being child centered – ACROSS settings, rather than looking only within individual settings.
