The pros for standards in early childhood education are:

1) Standards are instituted to provide consistency for young children.

2) Standards provide a foundation for early childhood educators that address the growth potential of young children.

3) Explaining play-based programs to parents can be difficult for educators, with established standards educators can provide materials to parents that can be easily explained and incorporated into the play-based curriculum.

Therefore, when young children are provided with a high quality program they are more successful academically and socially when they enter school.
