In the past two years, the infant- toddler centers and pre-schools of the Municipality of Parma and, some private enterprises such as PROGES have earned quality certification according to the UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 Regulation/Law. Planning and providing education services to children age 0 to 6 , is the application area of the quality management system.
Quality certification does not simply mean receiving a seal visible from outside, it also means establishing an integrated system of monitoring on the service that improves the network of communication and objectives among the different contexts, roles, tasks present in it.
The improvement comes from pausing at every step of the different processes and keeping tracks of the interaction between families, staff of infant-toddler centers and pre-schools, and the center involved.
All of this has produced quality not as absolute value, but as a tool to interact among people who share a common passion and interest in their profession, with the goal to define in a common and visible way thoughts, objectives, suggestions.
