Getting to Know Your International Contacts


The Early Childhood Care and Education (UNESCO) website is a very informative place where professionals, parents, advocates, and policy makers can gain insight. One of the issues the website touches on is early learning is important all over the world. Many countries are participating and expanding their early childhood education systems. As a professional it important for me to recognize that inequalities not only affect children of the United States but all over the world as well. Recognizing this deficiency in the system will benefit me working with families who migrate from outside the U.S.

One of the things I found through my educational journey is quality childcare is an extension of quality teaching. UNESCO suggests that professionals should always make room for new material, come together with professionals in the field, and create personal assessment for professional growth. Evaluating and assessing our professional goals is essential for growth.

A meeting organized by UNESCO was designed to address some of the inequalities and inequities that have affect childhood programs and finding resolution to these issues. An important factor that affects Early Childhood Education is inequities and inequalities. As professionals it is vital that one understands the barriers that affect children and their families from obtaining quality early learning. Therefore, being aware of the stereotypes, cultural differences, and inequities that bring negative impacts to early childhood learning is important for professionals so that that are able to possibly break down some of these barriers.
