Early Childhood Australia
Founded in1938 this organization ensures that quality and equality
towards the importance of early childhood. The people who started this
organization made a commitment come together and take time to share ideas and
experiences of early childhood. I was so impressed how it is like viewing the
NAEYC website and also the NIEER website. The information that is provided
demonstrates dedication for the children in Australia.
Its branches as an integral part of the organization that
helps them identify issues and priorities for state and national action, and
influence position statements concerning young children. It is through the
branches that Early Childhood Australia members interact for networking
opportunities and to provide each other professional support. Each of the
branches publishes a regular member newsletter focusing on local initiatives,
as well as issues of national importance
The position Statement was very interesting. Their mission
statements purpose is to create a vision
for high quality practices in early childhood education and care. Each was
designed specifically for inclusion, children who entered Australia as refugees
and suffering and loss experienced by Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander children, families and communities.
I found this website have a wealth of information of early childhood practices.
Hello Ivelisse:
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting information about "Early Childhood Australia."
Striving for quality/excellence in care and education is one of the top issues and trends in the ECE field. I am glad to learn that this issue is acknowledged and being addressed by such organizations.
At the end you've posted information about inclusion. A vision to serve the needs of the population different from native Australians, thus creating the issue of dual language learners. One issue is intertwined into the other leading us ECE professionals reflect/think how to make this world and our community a better place for children/families we have committed ourselves to serve.
Great Post!
