Over the last 8 weeks I have learned much concerning different international policies and laws that are trying to become established or are being fine tuned to insure all children are receiving the chance to attend a quality early childhood program.
I have realized that chronic poverty is prevalent all over the world. Poverty affects children the same way no matter where they live. We as early childhood professional need to help with poverty at home.
I also understand that all parents no matter where they reside has the same dreams and aspirations for their children as parent in the united states have for our children.
One personal goal I have for myself is that I need to broaden my horizon and go beyond the four walls of my child care business and be an advocate for more families. I believe that the knowledge I have gained needs to be shared with more than just the people that are conveniently around you. I also believe the more you give out the more you receive.
I have realized that all the worlds early childhood field need to be improved. The early childhood field is broken in much of the world. One goal for the early childhood field is to become aware of the international issues so when and if the children and families come to America we will be better equipped to serve them.
I feel we as early childhood professional need to put aside any biases we have and work together for the good of the children.
I truly enjoyed working with each of you. I have learned much from each of you. Best of luck in all you set out to do.
