Summary

This chapter discusses the importance of quality child care in South Dakota and South Dakota's statewide attempt to create evidenced-based policies and programs. South Dakota has the highest percentage of women with children under the age of six in the workforce in the United States. Several researchers have related high-quality care to positive child development within several developmental areas, including social-emotional and attachment. High-quality care has been shown to be especially effective in promoting positive development in low-income and at-risk children. The South Dakota infant/toddler training model indicates the professional development levels and amount of training that needs to be done for an individual to be considered entry level and acquire a certificate or credential. South Dakota's early childhood enrichment programs (ECEs) offer services to improve the quality and retention of caregivers, teachers, and others involved in the day-to-day care of children in the childcare setting.
