Final Report for the formative evaluation of the highscope curriculum reform programme. (February to December, 2014)

Given the challenges that the Caribbean nations face to provide children of all ages full access
to quality developmental and education services, one potential solution identified, particularly to
tackle low enrolment, is quality early childhood development (ECD) programmes. The advocacy
for the use of a child-initiated ECD curriculum formed part of
UNICEF’s 2012-2016 framework to address young children’s
needs in the Eastern Caribbean Area (ECA).
