Reflection

It’s been an amazing journey learning about issues within early childhood education field that is beneficial for all early childhood professionals, families, and their children should be aware of and have knowledge of. I feel I have learned so many new resources to use when it comes to supporting families and young children on their way to success.  Having all the resources brought to the forefront helped open my eyes to a world of issues and trends in early childhood education. The entire world is dealing with the same issues and I think we need to start to work together to help support one another on solving these issues to have a better world for our children and families.

The main issues I learned from this course were changing demographics and diversity, poverty, influences of economics, neuroscience, and politics, and equity and excellence in care and education of children, families, and early childhood professionals.  I think this issues will continue to be consequences within the early childhood field for years to come. Part of these issues, I want to share, happen in some ways relating with politics. No matter how society votes, these issues will still stand for young children, their families, and early childhood professionals. These four issues can be attempted to change by professionals and families standing up and fighting for their rights and concerns about what they want for young children and their needs to grow strong and be successful in their future.  I have learned so much about these topics that I would do my best to stay strong as a professional to stand up and fight for the benefits of early childhood education has for the community, to society, and to the world. Early childhood education is beneficial to all children before they enter public school, which most children start school in Kindergarten.  I will do my best to help reduce these issues within my own community and work my way to support the reduction on a national level.

My goal is to help society understand and gain knowledge about the importance and benefits of supporting and funding early childhood programs for young children, their families, and early childhood professionals.  I think it’s important that society has all the knowledge of the benefits early childhood programs have for young children, their families, and early childhood professionals, and for many generations to come to have a successful life.
