A Compilation Table of Resources on Quality in Outdoor and Land-based Early Childhood Education Programs

Compared to indoor spaces, outdoor spaces can vary substantially, and therefore the quality of the space, and the experience of play and learning outdoors, can in turn vary substantially.
This table was developed by the Quality Subcommittee of the Canadian Centre for Outdoor Play’s National Panel on Regulating Outdoor and Land Based ECE to bring together key resources that illustrate how quality has been framed across different jurisdictions, systems, and professional contexts. The resources included here reflect a range of approaches, including regulatory standards, inspection and quality improvement frameworks, professional recognition systems, evaluation studies, and pedagogy-driven guides. While these resources emerge from different legislative and cultural contexts, they reveal important commonalities in values, principles, and conditions that support high quality outdoor and Land-based programs.
