Quality and education-based early childhood education is a crucial element in the development of young children. The participation rates of children in Erie County in education-based pre-school programs increased marginally from 2007-08 to 2008-09. Additionally, crucial risk factors for children under the age of five increased over that same time period.
When comparing Erie County to PA and the largest counties in PA, Erie was the only county to experience an increase in participation in 2008-2009. While not a huge increase, it does represent a positive trend in early childhood education for Erie County.
The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is an additional indicator for early childhood education. In Erie County, there are only 6 NAEYC-accredited programs compared to 309 across the Commonwealth. Ideally, the number of NAEYC-accredited programs will increase as more of a focus is placed on quality early childhood education in Erie County.
