Research that Benefits Children and Families—Uplifting Stories
I decided to discuss the following for this blog assignment.
Imagine that you possess the means and the knowledge to conduct research studies about any topic in the early childhood field. Imagine further that you are not restricted by the reality of the present. Imagine that your study will make a major positive contribution to the well-being of children and/or their families. What topic would you choose? What can you imagine the positive contribution(s) would be?
The topic I woild like to discuss is why it is important for children to receive an early childhood education. ECE is from birth through five. It is important for parents/caregivers to take part in the early childhood education to prepare the children for the mainstream school. When parents are part of the child's education meaning active involvement in school the child academics will demonstrate their scores.
Also, by having the community involved in birth through five education is beneficial because this is a way to network and provided resources for all in the community such as children and adults.
When providing resources about birth through five, I would want to inform parents of developmental checklist guide, the yearly visit to the pediatricians. Having the children to socialize with other children will assist in the growth process and increasing the child(s) phonological awareness abilities.
Just to name a few checklist:

Brittney,
ReplyDeleteIt is important for people, families, and the community to understand why it is important to pursue early childhood education. I believe that we have come a long way from distinguishing the difference between early childhood education and babysitting and i am glad of that. Educators in this field deserve the recognition they long for all these years and now i feel that this recognition has improved. ECE's work hard to guide young children to form experiences and follow their goals as they work on enhancing their developmental skills and domains. The world is ready to see that.
