The session will kick off with a presentation by Professor Michel Vandenbroeck on the state of play of quality in ECEC, with a focus on Belgium and Europe (including the Care Strategy and Child Guarantee).

The focus will especially be child-staff ratio as a primary driver for child well-being and family engagement.

This will be followed by a Q&A and exchange with COFACE members about the situation in their countries.
