This paper discusses the models used in the assessment of quality of early childhood education and defines comparison criteria. Through a qualitative research, it discusses and compares the models applied in Florianópolis’ municipal education system. The research concludes that the evaluation must consider the identity diversity of institutions and the specificities of early childhood education. It must have a scientific nature, technical rigor and legitimate mapping procedures. The results of the evaluation should compile information from the school census and educational funding programs that foster access, infrastructure, material resources, teacher training, and the management of the educational system and institutions.Key-words: quality assessment; evaluation models; early childhood education.
