International Early Childhood Professionalsim

The UNESCO website was very interesting!  One of the greatest insights that I had was just reviewing the website, it is quite complex and covers, not only early childhood education, but also; Secondary, Adult, higher and inclusive education systems throughout the world as well!

Part of its mission is to "expand and improve comprehensive early childhood care and education for all." (UNESCO, 2011).  And, "leads the international policy drive for an integrated early childhood care and education system that encompasses both the well-being and holistic development of the child" (UNESCO, 2011).  I had no idea that there was such an extensive website/organization out there that was so dedicated to all forms of education, including early childhood education.

In addition, you can review various different country profiles and their specific information, initiatives and ideas as they related to early childhood.  The site is a wonderful resource for all active advocates in the field.

    Hi Tammy. It sounds like this website is an excellent resource. Did you happen to explore any of the international resources? If so, did you also find that they suffer the same issues as we do within the United States. I will most definitely use this resource in the future. Thank you for sharing it.
