Based on documentary research, foreign initiatives of assessment and accreditation of institutions of early childhood educational are characterized, with regard to their purpose and operation. Results of studies from Brazilian researchers who have relied on initiatives from other countries in order to analyze the quality of early childhood education in national contexts are brought together. Proposals were selected that can show steps to be taken in Brazil, under public administration, regarding the assessment of this stage of basic education, in the implementation of the National Education Plan and the duty of the State to ensure quality education for all.
