The literature review examines research between 2008 and 2018 on supporting access to high-quality infant and toddler care and the effectiveness of approaches to improving access to and quality of infant and toddler early care and education (ECE). The literature review addresses the following questions: 1. What facilitates or hinders families' access to high-quality care for infants and toddlers? 2. What do we know about the factors that contribute to strengthening quality in ECE for infants and toddlers and that are associated with positive outcomes for children under age three? We assume that access to and quality of infant and toddler care are inherently related. It is difficult to conceptualize how to support access to high-quality care without also examining supports for strengthening the quality of care. The more the field understands how to improve the quality of infant and toddler care and implements effective approaches for improving quality, the more accessible that care will be for the families that need it.
