What surprising facts/insights/new ideas about early childhood did you gain from exploring this international early childhood website?
            From exploring the international early childhood website, I was able to get some progressive insights and reflections about early childhood. Any country or entity needs to have a legit organization that is tasked with ensuring the plight of children/infant toddlers is adequately considered. For example, in this case, Early Childhood Australia is a registered
charitable organization that is focused on ensuring quality, equality, and social justice for all the aspects relating to the education and care of children from birth to eight years. This organization relies on the support of the society to achieve its mandate.

Also, I was able to have a glance on the aspect of education for sustainability in early childhood. Educators and other relevant professionals are expected to build sustainability in care services and early childhood education. A sustainable education also aims at creating living and knowledge spaces that reflect and inspire maintainable practices now and into the prospect. Noteworthy, the website also emphasizes the need of having or ensuring parents are concerned about their children well-being. Parents’ resources are clearly stipulated in the site (resource on health &nutrition, separation anxiety, transitions to school, and sleeping). These resources are significant in the child development setting.

What other noteworthy information did you find on this website?
The website consists of other noteworthy information such as the Early Childhood Australia Code of Ethics. This code of ethics consists of vital information that stipulates on the appropriate and expected behavior of early childhood professionals. Notably, this code of ethics is based on the principles of United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1991). It provides an outline for reflection about the ethical duties of early childhood professionals.
There are significant submissions and statement on the website. They act as policies for early childhood education and care.  Some of these policies are; statement on young children and digital technology, the state of early learning in Australia report 2016, statement of intent on supporting children’s rights, and statement on the inclusion of children in early childhood education and care. The website also showcases seminars and events that are focused on advocating for children rights and well-being.

  1. Hello

    I viewed the website that you mentioned in your blog. It has a lot of topics and areas to learn from. I found the Code of Ethics to be noteworthy. Their values and goals are very similar to the U.S. NAEYC which was interesting. Thanks for sharing.

  2. Hi Sheila!

    You have created an amazing blog about your specific international selection. The topic, the importance of parents supporting infants and toddlers is very powerful. It is essential to the child's development to implement the role of an effective mother or father as soon as the child is born; because, children's brains develop as soon as they enter into the world. As the correct parenting skills are implemented throughout the child's early learning stages, it sets the child up for a bright and successful future. Thank you for sharing your blog!
