Under the Early
Childhood News tab I read an article titled, “New Era for Early
Childhood.” It highlights the changes in
Australia’s early education to ensure quality across early childhood services
and improve educational and developmental outcomes. Over time the achievement gap between
struggling and on level children are expanding. The Australian Children’s
Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) is partnering with governments
and the early childhood sector to ensure a national system of high-quality
early childhood education and care for all children. The changes are results of
the raised awareness of early education on children’s critical development
during the early years.

Hi Katara,
ReplyDeleteI also looked into the Australian Early Childhood site. I found it very informative. The early childhood professionals are making great strides in creating higher standards for the profession so that children will have access to high quality preschool programs. I really liked all the resources that they had to offer as well.
