Our overall plan to systematically improve the quality of child care in each country of service is one that relies on a number of different parts of our program, all working together to achieve change that is sustainable and cost effective.

 Nicaragua, where we began working in 2006, has been the pilot country where we have implemented and perfected a number of different components of our program. Since 2006 we have implemented, fine tuned and continue to work to improve on the following:

-Director training

-Caregiver training

-Special training around documentation for children

-Children's books, how to create meaningful histories for children without guardianship

-A plan to create appropriate environments for children in resource deprived childcare settings

-A 30 class early childhood specialized course, being held in partnership with the University of Central America

-Specialized training for professionals and para professionals working within the centers we serve

 We have reached agreements with the governments of Haiti and El Salvador for collaboration in improving the quality of care for their children.

 Our goal is to spend the next three years fine tuning our program in these three countries, in order to be ready for broad global expansion in 2014.
