FINAL BLOG

      I learned from the international early childhood education that every child deserves the right to a quality education. By giving children a basic education this will aid a balanced developmental growth and also helps the population to eradicate poverty. We as educators need to make sure that every child no matter the gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic background has access to available resources to meet her educational needs. I would like to create a school where children would have access to play and learn at the same time and make it available to my community. No matter the location of a child (both in my community and internationally) she needs access to education.
     The knowledge of early childhood quality of education has been of great value around the world and should be available, accessible, and affordable to all. A quality educational attainment helps children to transition to primary school as a result of properly laid background and holistic development of a child's potentials.
     Most of the international early childhood teachers have low qualification compared with the teachers here in the United States so most children receive poor or substandard education but with some organization helping out in training and directing the teachers the field is now having more qualified teachers.
     The Harlem children's zone addressed the project pipeline to equip a child in her developmental process to attend, excel, and graduate from college no matter her challenges or background. The children would overcome obstacles through collective efforts of families, friends, and the community. Teaching parents about reading, singing, and playing with their children will help the development of their children. When children are redirected and/or given time out, it is a way of teaching the children discipline. The staff teach parenting skills, child development and language skills to enhance the development of children in their program. The program assists after school children in creative reading and writing, playing chess, and others. They provide medical, behavioral, dental, nutrition and fitness care for children and also for the kids without insurance.
      The early childhood professionals need to come together to tackle the necessary issues that affect children and their families such as food, water, education and health care for all are necessary for survival and functioning effectively.Let us come together as a body both here in the United States or internationally to invest our time and resources for play and creativity regardless of the children's social status for opportunities to develop.

Getting to Know Your International Contacts

   In getting to know what happens in the developing countries, I found out that UNESCO is helping a lot to see about the education of children from 0-8 and 10.5 million children under 5 years old die from preventable disease every year.
    UNESCO has a mission to protect and promote the development of young children and to allow a smooth transition from home to early childhood services and later to primary education. They also have a mission to build a solid foundation for a child's lifelong learning. Countries that are involved with UNESCO realized that it was important to expand and improve early childhood care and education for those children who are disadvantaged or vulnerable. UNESCO advocates for early childhood care and education (ECCE) that attend to health, nutrition, security and learning to provide holistic development for the promotion of inclusive education.
    In addressing the high quality of excellence and equity of care and education for young children and their families we need to look into the holistic need of children because they are our future leaders. Early childhood education starts at birth and should involve children, their families, communities and the government.  Children's 85% brain structure are formed by age 3, so early education care should reach every child regardless of their background. Children learn through child centered learning or  inclusive education that would motivate and make the feel enthusiastic to learn. Children, families ad teachers should have time to plat with each other to give children something to look up for.

Sharing Web Resources

       The site I have been visiting is the global fund for children where they set standards of excellence and quality to make children feel that they have the best. They also have grants for children to support their education which is a path to dignity.

       The International Child Resource Institute (ICRI) work to promote the live of children and families around the world. I explored this site and found that they have early childhood education centers and provide study and learning exchange opportunities for educators from around the world. Children deserve the right to high quality, developmentally appropriate healthy growth of childhood care and education. The organization specializes in promoting high quality professional development opportunities for early childhood community. They ensure that daycare providers have access to nutritious food that promotes the children's health and development.

     I also explored the International Step by Step Association (ISSA) site where I found that this organization connects professionals and organizations working in the field of early childhood development and education. The organization promotes the equal access to quality education and care for all children. The site has different categories to look into such as programs, services, events and global network.
