Better Beginnings is Arkansas’s quality rating improvement system for child care, early education and school-age programs that have gone above and beyond state minimum licensing requirements.
“Research shows that the early months and years following birth really do matter, that maximum brain development happens during the first five years of life – before children are ‘officially’ in school. We want
children to have a better beginning to their education,” said Tonya Williams, Director, Division of Child Care and Early Childhood Education.
Better Beginnings provides curriculum based on the early learning and development guidelines: math, science and literacy. Through a high- quality learning environment, children develop social and academic skills that lead to school success.
