I chose the Early Childhood Australia website, some of
the current research topics on the website are health and nutrition, practice
and learning series for early childhood education in Australia.
Some surprising facts/insights/new ideas about early
childhood that I gained form exploring the international website about
Australia: Early childhood in Australia has been around since 1938, it advocates
to ensure quality, social justice, and equity in all issues relating to the
education and care of children between the ages of birth to eight years. Every
young child is thriving and learning is the ECA’s vision. Australia future
prosperity is linked to the collective investments that we make in all of our
children’s development and the reason is when programs are improved; services
that help children to be healthy and to receive a good education benefit
everyone in the long run. The website has helpful information for parents like
health and wellbeing info that consist of recipes, posters and safety tips.
I also found other information I found was interesting
and that was the learning hub. I clicked on there to see what it was about and
I saw it had educator’s resources some were free online courses while some have
to be paid in order to take courses. The start early course tells how everyday
behavior and attitudes shape a child’s relationship over their lifetime. ECA
has a blog that is helpful as well and newsletters that have various
information inside.
Hi, Monica
ReplyDeleteI can see why you chose this website. It is rewarding to connect with any organization that advocates fro both children and their parents. It is also, encouraging to know that other professionals around the world can share and learn from each other whether it be through the use of websites or other medias.
Thanks again for sharing the vision of Early Childhood Australia and their comment to child development.
Monica,
ReplyDeleteI love the idea that in Australia they focus on health and nutrition which is a great part of learning. You can't teach a child that is hungry or is not healthy. It all falls under learning. I see you found the learning hub to be a great resource. Did you see how the ECA advocates for young children? Great post!
I picked Childhood Australia also when I went to the website I enjoyed opening the different resources to see all the things they offered parents and teachers.
