Quality rating systems discourses and practices are increasingly
dominating early childhood care and education around the globe.
These rating systems are constructed with the assumption that
universally appropriate environments can be constructed for all
those who are younger. This deterministic, ratings, and measurement
oriented perspective is consistent with neoliberal discourses that
privilege competition, accountability, consumer materialism, and
notions such as human capital; this contemporary neoliberal
condition does not support concern for the common good, democracy,
equity, justice, or diversity (unless the support can facilitate
new forms of capitalist gains). Ultimately, this is not a positive
situation for those who are younger. The chapters in this book have
two goals: (1) to provide the reader with an opportunity to engage
with some of the specific problems that result from putting forward
'quality' as a dominant construct, and (2) to generate
conversations and locations from diverse knowledges and multiple
ways of being that could lead to the rethinking of quality,
understandings of quality as a narrowing construct/practice, and/or
going beyond (and outside of) notions of quality.
