The Global Guidelines for Early Childhood Education and Care were developed in 1999 and revised in 2003, 2006 and 2011, and 2019 by educators from more than 27 countries. The Global Guidelines Assessment (GGA) was developed as a global tool and therefore can be used in early childhood programs around the world.
