NERD_0345 When Conversations About Quality Erase the Child

In the third episode of this series on "quality" in early care and education, play advocate Kisa Marx joins host Heather Bernt-Santy for an important conversation about how too often, our standards for quality do not center the child. As part of the conversation, they discuss Heather's decision to reject the industry standard descriptor  "developmentally appropriate" in favor of more child-centering terms like "developmentally informed" and "developmentally responsive."
