UNESCO’s “Early Childhood Care and Education” webpage

The first area of the UNESCO’s “Early Childhood Care and Education” webpage that I found useful was the area on early childhood quality.  The statement that struck me was that it stated that early childhood included a diverse population of people including teachers, carers, and other professionals.  As an early childhood professional I have so many more resources I can share with families because there are others in my early childhood community that also have a passion for early childhood, but they work in a different areaof EC. 

The second area I found interesting was an article that described the structures of early childhood education in developed countries titled, "The Early Childhood Workforce in ‘Developed’ Countries: Basic Structures and Education."  I found this article to be very informative.  It discussed the origins of the different structures of earlychildhood.  This could be very useful for current programs.

The thir area was the area on equity and access.  I found this interesting because it had information from different countries.  It was interesting to see that the consensus is to provide early childhood education for all children, but expecially those in the most need.
