Investing is quality early childhood development is needed to
facilitate the advancement of our nation’s children. Highlighting
the standards of the sector during 2022, the Year of Early
Childhood Development, illustrates the importance of consistent
monitoring of the sector. It is without a doubt that the Early
Childhood Commission (ECC) recognizes the need to ensure
that parents are informed about the standards of education that
their children are receiving. That is why the ECC conducts
inspections with schools on a frequent basis.

Introduction
The Early Childhood Commission (ECC) is an agency of the Ministry of Education and Youth.
It was established in 2003 by the Early Childhood Commission Act to improve the quality of life
for Jamaica’s youngest children. The ECC monitors and regulates early childhood institutions
(ECIs) through a system of inspection against the 12 national standards. The ECC is the
umbrella organization with responsibility for inter sectoral coordination for early childhood
development outcomes for children 0 - 8 across the sectors of health, education, development
and care as well as child protection.
According to section 3(1) of the Early Childhood Act (2005), “No person shall operate an early
childhood institution unless that institution is registered under this Act.” As of March 31, 2022,
there were 2373 ECIs in operation. Of this amount, 2312 ECIs (97 percent of ECIs) have applied
for registration while 61 ECIs are delinquent. The registration compliance rate among ECIs
have seen significant improvement within the past year, with overall delinquency moving from
140 ECIs as of February 26, 2021, to 61 ECIs currently. Of that 140 ECIs, 24 were government
operated ECIs (infant schools and departments). Currently, only four (4) government operated
ECIs are delinquent.
All ECIs are inspected against the 12 national standards using an inspection instrument. An
inspection instrument is the tool used to measure the extent to which an ECI complies with the
231 legal performance indicators of the 12 standards. The 12 standards are:
www.ecc.gov.jm
Assessment Report of Early Childhood Institutions March 2022 3
• Objective: Early childhood staff has the characteristics, training, knowledge, skills and
attitude to promote positive behaviours and reduce difficult and challenging behaviours
in children.

health and safety requirements; allow adequate space for children and facilitate the
development of children and staff
Standard 5: Indoor and outdoor equipment, furnishing and supplies (21 indicators)
• Objective: Early childhood institutions have indoor and outdoor equipment and
furnishings that are safe, child-friendly and promote optimal development of children.
Standard 6: Health (42 indicators)

After an ECI is inspected, the outcome of an inspection may result in the ECI being issued a
certificate of registration or a permit to operate. An ECI is issued a certificate of registration
(certified) after it has been assessed against the 231 legal performance indicators of the 12
standards and have achieved a 100 percent inspection score. This certificate of registration is
valued for five years from the date of its issuance. ECIs must reapply for a certificate of
registration after this period. As of March 31, 2022, 282 ECIs have received a certificate of
registration which represents 11 percent of ECIs operating in the sector.
ECIs may receive a permit to operate which is an interim approval to operate for one year. A
permit is granted to an ECI after it is assessed and there are no health and safety risks to
children, staff and stakeholders. The ECI is given a time period to achieve the legal
requirements that were not met upon inspection. As of March 31, 2022, 2241 ECIs have
received a permit to operate which represents 85 percent of ECIs operating in the sector.
The Assessment Report of Early Childhood Institutions March 2022 represents the analysis of
inspection scores from the last inspection conducted at the ECI by the ECC. The analysis
presents a breakdown of each ECI’s inspection score indicating where each is operating in
terms of meeting all the legal requirements of the 12 standards (100 percent). ECIs are
categorized by regions (Region 1 – 7) which highlight their geographical parish boundaries. The
analysis is a useful tool in assisting stakeholders to see where an ECI is operating in terms of
the requirement in meeting the 231 legal requirements at the time of the last inspection.
www.ecc.gov.jm
Assessment Report of Early Childhood Institutions March 2022 5
Rationale
The Assessment Report of Early Childhood Institutions March 2022 serves as a guide for
stakeholders as it gives an overview for where all ECIs are operating based on their last
inspection score. The inspection score is a useful benchmark to inform stakeholders of where
the ECI is operating in terms of being certified.
More than 80 percent of ECIs are privately operated and thus, stakeholders can decide which
ECI is best suited to meet the needs of their children. Requesting the information from an ECI’s
last inspection report is a good indicator for parents who desire to make an informed decision
as to where the ECI is operating based on the requirements of the standards.
Stakeholders can use the ECC’s website to view the list of certified schools and the inspection
report of various ECIs. ECIs are NOT assessed based on academic criteria but against the 12
standards which illustrate an ECI’s overall operational performance.
The early childhood sector in Jamaica is supported by a number of stakeholders who work
assiduously to ensure that ECIs are providing high quality early childhood education. This
report is useful for partners who may want more information about an ECI to invest in.
The inspection score is a useful benchmark that should be used in conjunction with an ECI’s
needs assessment. These two documents will guide partners with what is needed for an ECI
to be certified. Prospective partners are encouraged to contact the Early Childhood
Commission for more information.

Methodology
Overview of Inspection Scores
Each ECI inspection score is determined by compiling the number of the 231 legal criteria
achieved.
www.ecc.gov.jm
Assessment Report of Early Childhood Institutions March 2022 7
Disclaimer
Please be advised that this report aims to be a quantitative analysis of all early childhood
institutions that have submitted an application for registration with the ECC as of March 31,
2022. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ECC was not able to assess some ECIs. Thus,
these schools have been listed as ‘not inspected’. This is not an indictment of the school’s
capacity and adherence to the 12 standards. Some institutions inspected before the pandemic
may have also seen changes to their inspection scores during the intervening time period. In
instances like these, the most recent inspection report done in the years 2018 – 2020 was used
along with current scores conducted up to March 2022.

Recommendations
In light of the report’s findings, the following recommendations are being made to all
stakeholders that support the certification process of ECIs.
Community
ECI leadership can leverage support among community stakeholders to support them in
achieving the standards. Institutions can seek assistance from the community after they have
identified the standard(s) where there is greatest need(s).
Public ECIs are the flagship institutions of the MOEY. Thus, vigilance is needed to ensure that
the leadership of these institutions are purposeful about achieving and maintaining the
certification status of public ECIs.
www.ecc.gov.jm
Assessment Report of Early Childhood Institutions March 2022 103
It is also recommended that the MOEY increase the current funding available to early childhood
practitioners for the annual document renewal initiative. Additional funding is needed to support
the practitioners for the annual renewal of police records, food handlers permits and medicals.
Funding should be expanded to the ECC in order to increase the ratio of field officers for greater
support to ECIs. The ideal ratio to establish is one (1) field officer to 30 ECIs (1:30) and one (1)
community relations officer per parish.
Inter-Agency Collaboration
Based on the requirements for ECIs to obtain the requisite documents to meet the standards,
there is need for greater collaboration among the municipal corporation of each parish, the
Ministry of Health and Wellness, the Jamaica Constabulary Force and the Jamaica Fire
Brigade. It has been observed that ECIs experience major delays with acquiring documents
from these organizations including public health certificates, food handler’s permits, police
records and fire safety certificates. The ECC recommends that these public bodies should fast
track the processing of these documents for ECIs. This is in order to ensure that long delays
are minimized as these documents are only valid for one (1) year.
