Abstract	In 2015, the High Council for Education, Training and Scientific Research of Morocco announced its strategic plan for the next 25 years. Among the goals is 'the institutionalisation and standardisation of preschool education'. The identification of early childhood education as a national priority for the country represents a tremendous change in the national ethos since 1978, when the Bernard van Leer Foundation first began to support the progress of quality early childhood development in Morocco. During the nearly 30 years in which it received support from the Foundation, the Alliance de Travail dans la Formation et l'Action pour l'Enfance (ATFALE), the Foundation's primary partner in the country, succeeded in making quality preschool education a national concern -- one recognised as an essential part of the national mandate for education in service of developing a successful, healthy citizenry. It has also succeeded in changing expectations and increasing awareness among parents of the importance of quality early childhood development. While there is still progress to be made -- most notably in increasing access to holistic, child-centred preschools for children from rural and disadvantaged backgrounds and increasing the number of girls in pre-primary education -- much has been achieved during the past 30 years.
