What
surprising facts/insights/new ideas about early childhood did you gain from
exploring this international early childhood website?
“Among others, Landers
(1992) and Evans (1998) greatly acknowledge and advocate for the family’s role
as a major force in the development and provision of ECD. They perceive the
family’s involvement as an indispensable ingredient for sustaining the accomplishments
of early childhood programs” I always thought of parent to be an important part
of the success the early childhood program after reading the text the term use
to describe family involvement was a “indispensable ingredient” which caught my
eye because it very rarely used in relation to the early childhood field. To be an indispensable ingredient means that
you are essential to the process without it all things lack.
What other noteworthy information did you find on this website?
I noteworthy information I
found on this website is that although it is not advertise in the media, Africa
is taking stride to move their early childhood programs to a quality level
through research, education, and training.

Alysia,
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see countries from all over the world working to increase the quality of early childhood programs. In order to truly see changes, the whole field will need to come together and work for a common goal. I am curious to know if there are international agencies that are collaborating on how to improve quality or if every part of the world is doing their own thing. How amazing would it be to participate in an international effort to improve the lives of our children, the families we serve, and the early childhood workforce.
