Getting to Know Your International Contacts—Part 3

On the UNESCO’s “Early Childhood Care and Education” webpage, I found an article called “Quality” that addressed quality and how it refers to our children from the perspective of the ECCE work force. Children desires to have an early opportunity to be exposed to interaction with their peers and teacher as early as possible but these experience should not only repair them for kindergarten but it should provide them with the necessary skills to be able be productive in their new environment. Teaching method guides are not written in stone with step by step instruction.  The article suggest that; “There are no universally agreed criteria for quantifying ECCE quality but useful factors to consider include pedagogy materials, personnel training, service setting and parental education and involvement. Learning materials should be quantitatively, culturally and developmentally adequate and focus on child-centred interaction”. It requires dedication, collaboration and determination to promote the learning environments our children desire and need.
