Abstract

Pre-primary Education Quality: Assessment ToolsSalto de línea Salto de línea Quality in Pre-primary education and its effects on infant development, became a productive debate the 90's at the international level. This debate gave rise to the devise of different researchs which developed a set of tools for the assessment of quality at early age. From a contextual perspective, different studies have been developed in the USA, Europe and other countries all of them with; the same methodological patterns and tools. In Spain, in 90's three different projects were carried out at the regional, national and international levels. We consider it is important to disseminate these studies, show the results obtained and the reflections and conclusions raised, as well as the advisability of using or not any of these tools in the assessment and improvement of Pre-primary education in Spain.
