week 2 Quality Programs for All Children

As an early childhood development professional, I believe that knowledge of

child development theory of the history should guide my knowledge and others of educational practices of children from birth to 8 years of age. As a professional we do need to know enough about the relationship between early experience and the ultimate competencies necessary for effective participation in democratic processes, how we can design effective educational practice. Theories will be useful in helping researchers and

 teachers to guide their observations in the right direction in the learning process for the

 early learners. It is from this point of view that practices for supporting the development

 of children from birth to 8 years of age originate. Developmentally appropriate practices

 need to be implemented based on standards for providing high quality early care and

 education experiences to children, birth to 8.We as professionals can learn from past

  knowledge to set standards on the development for our early learners.
