Final Blog Assignment

The consequences I chose are: International early childhood communication provide educators with being able to identify with others challenges and obstacles in the early childhood field. It is also a way of communicating with others who are working with diverse families. It can give new ideas and better insight of how to work with children from diverse backgrounds.

My goal is to keep the lines of communication open to assist with providing quality service to the diverse learners and their families.

Early childhood care and education

The article on Early childhood care and education discusses quality education. It emphasizes how early childhood programs should serve the whole child. This is important for children especially from disadvantaged backgrounds. Children that receives these services become more motivated, confident and develop better cognitive skills, and linguistic development and school readiness. This is made up of a very diverse group of staff. This would include preschool teachers, care workers, informal carers and other professionals. I feel these are people who really know the needs of our early learners. This makes a big need for parents and community to assist with the learning process which can increase sustainability.

The new website that I chose is http://childcareaware.org/parents-and-guardians
This website has great resources for parents and educators. It assist with military children that may be in need of guidance of childcare services. It gives state by state resources for families. It provides monthly newsletters that gives valuable information to parents and childcare providers. It gives information on the cost of  child care in America.

this information has been very valuable in my quest to understand how inequitable services can be in providing the right service to the early learners. It show where we are and how far we need to go in order to provide good educational service to the early learners.

Some of the priorities of this area is to apply knowledge that will address the health and development needs of children in a diverse setting.This will be done by piloting assessments to measure the child's developmentoutcomes linked to malari control strategies in Zambia.Expanding effective interventions to improve preschool quality.

NBCDI  What We Do
Early Care and Education


       This program promotes the development of high quality education. It serves children birth to
eight years of age. This program shows that educating our early learners is most important. This
program will assist with developing an appropriate curriculum and support to staff on assessing a
child's needs. The most important information from my assessment is that they provide commitments to ensuring cultural and racial diversity in the workforce, which may decrease, even while the population of children has grown increasingly more diverse.
       This information is to encourage states, districts and schools to embed professional development opportunities that support a deeper understanding of families' race and culture, and teach teachers from all backgrounds how to strengthen a better relationship with parents and community.

Our agenda is simple: The ZERO TO THREE Policy Center promotes good health, strong families, and positive early learning experiences for all infants and toddlers, with special emphasis on those who are the most vulnerable and in need.
