Participation rates of under-three-year-old children in group-based early childhood services have risen in many countries including Japan. Currently, the importance of the quality of infant and toddler education and care is widely noticed and many empirical studies are conducted to generate evidence basis for policy and practice. This paper reviews the studies on the quality of infant and toddler education and care. The review focuses on (1) the history of the research on the quality of infant and toddler education and care, (2) the scales for measuring the process quality, (3) the impact of the process quality on child development, and (4) the factors predicting the process quality. In conclusion, the future research directions in Japan are discussed.
