Research Around the World


For this assignment I picked Early Childhood Australia to explore and gain some insightful information from to complete my Blog.


What are some of the current international research topics?

Children and society do better with two years of pre-school , Why is childcare such a hard sell in the federal election?




What surprising facts/insights/new ideas about early childhood did you gain from exploring this international early childhood website?

ECA has a great website that is easy to explore through and give valuable information. They also have a subscription segment for parents so they can get the latest information when t is available. They also have numerous newsletters and videos on lots of topics they cover. They also have a magazine called Every Child that comes out quarterly and is filled with valuable information articles on issues such as health, education and social trends, as well as book reviews, profiles and guest statements from well-known identities.

What other noteworthy information did you find on this website?

I liked reading their mission statement and their reasons for the website. They are very dedicated in children's well-being and I think its the greatest thing. Even though its another country we all serve the same purpose and that's the care and development of children.

    Thanks for the information and I agree with your statement about being another country and still having the same purpose and that is the care of the children. I also agree with Tiera this site could be very helpful to the parents.

  4. Shakira,

    Thanks for the sharing the information on Australia through this site. This should prove to be a great resource for educators, but more importantly parents. If used wisely, the resources will do just as their mission suggests "dedication to children's well-being."
