The Joint Select Committee on Social Services and Public Administration completed a report on the regulation and administration of public and private early childhood care and education (ECCE) institutions. This report offers valuable insights into a sector that has not been heavily researched locally. While many studies focus on curriculum and provision, our research highlights significant gaps in the sector’s regulation. This report is the first examination of the ECCE sector for the JSCSSPA and lays a solid foundation for future research on the regulatory and administrative aspects of ECCE. During the study, the Committee visited several government-assisted and private ECCE centers across Trinidad where teachers shared their experiences. These insights, combined with data from other stakeholders during the Public Hearing process, painted a clearer picture of the sector’s realities. Our findings revealed several key points: 1.    The Ministry of Education is finalizing the Education Policy 2023-2027 which outlines strategic objectives and policy directions for the ECCE sector; 2.    Approximately 50% of private ECCE centers are not compliant with health and safety requirements; 3.    There is an inadequate amount of resources and services to support ECCE students with special needs; and 4.    The Ministry of Education faces resource limitations in screening and diagnosing disabilities among ECCE students. To address some of these challenges, the report recommended establishing strategic partnerships with private educational and developmental psychologists and developing a standardized risk management and assessment rubric for school compliance inspections. This report is a crucial step towards understanding and improving the regulatory and administrative aspects of ECCE, ensuring that quality and safe early childhood education is accessible to all children. The Seventh Report of the Joint Select Committee on Social Services and Public Administration on an Examination of the Regulation and Administration of Public and Private Early Childhood Institutions in Trinidad and Tobago was presented in the Senate on March 25, 2024 and in the House of Representatives on March 22, 2024.
