Early Child Studies

A high quality early childhood program provides a safe and nurturing environment while promoting the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of young children. Where I work one issue regarding quality is serving healthier lunch choices at the school cafeteria. Since I in private school, Parents pay for everything and their expectations are high.

  Sharing Web Resources I chose National Head Start Association in the section about us, it explains the importance of head start programs to vulnerable children.   Head Start is a comprehensive early childhood education and it is essential because it benefits children, families, and communities. They use evidence-based practices and partner with community-based organizations to help remove child and family barriers to success. The Head Start investment is effective and means that children are more likely to graduate from high school and college, are less likely to need special education services, and are less likely to repeat grades.  We are proud of the positive impact Head Start has on our society, one child at a time.   Head Start programs work collaboratively with local schools, childcare providers, community service providers, and families to meet the needs of a new generation and ensure all children have a brighter future. In 2013 Head Start progra...
