We trace the history of early childhood education — from village-based care to licensing, regulation, and funding structures — to understand how perception, policy, and access shaped a hierarchy within the field. While both centers and family child care programs serve children and families in important ways, history reveals how one model became more visible, more funded, and often more trusted. Is one setting truly better — or have we internalized a system that was built long before us?
