Across Australia a combined government effort is underway to reform early childhood education and care (ECEC) provision. A National Law Bill passed in 2010 heralds a new legal, regulatory and accountability framework that embraces all types ECEC provision. As a result, service providers face rapid change to address a new orientation and higher regulatory standards. This paper reviews the Australian system change in light of the tools selected under a human capital development conceptualisation, international debate about ECEC provision and what is at stake in the reform of ECEC systems. Questions are raised about the capacity of national reform enterprise within complex systems to change local practice. The tools selected to address quality in an ECEC system affect both the implementation of ECEC programs and the outcomes. Local leadership and community engagement in ECEC provision is paramount if improvements in the quality of provision are to be assured.

Moreover, the fact that kindergartens offer services for only 180 days a year is another stumbling block for dual-income families.…”

Lately, strategic documents prepared by Lithuanian and foreign educational institutions and recent discussions held by pedagogical societies and stakeholders have considered the issues of education quality. The question of ensuring quality has become one of the key priorities of educational policy assisting the system of education in Lithuania with integration into the space of European context. The status of the family can hardly guarantee the required conditions for self / educating children at home in all cases. Therefore, high-quality facilities should be a crucial aspect of training provided by the educational institutions since early childhood. Pre-school education in Lithuania, as one of the stages of a successive educational system, meets the basic needs of a child, including safety, activity and self-expression. Therefore, assessing a real situation in pre-school institutions seems to be an important point providing information on the needs for obtaining high quality self/education and training services, which is the way to implement one of the purposes of pre-school education – to help the family with fostering all qualities of a child (intellectual, emotional, volitional and physical) determining personal maturity and social success thus offering the programme of pre-school education and/or required educational help for the child or family. Empirical research has revealed parents’ points of view to the quality of education and quality evaluation and helped with identifying the factors that may have an impact on child self/education. Key words: children, education quality, institution of pre-school education.
