Research Around the World

Viewing international early childhood Research

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.

  1. Hello Ivelisse:

    Thank 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!
