High Quality Defined Globally
New insights or ideas I gained from this website are
UNESCO advocates for ECC and Education programs that attend to the health, nutrition, security, and learning which provide for children’s holistic development. This is an ideal that I have read about on the Harlem’s Children’s Zone website. In order to impact the community, children have to be given services that they may not have had contact with at home. In high quality early childhood development centers here in the United States, we may not offer assistance with social service problems.
Quality ECE for the UNESCO means that there is an emphasis on the child’s holistic development and extend beyond assisting the child’s transition to formal schooling. High quality childcare, should promote motivation, confidence, good cognitive and linguistic development and school readiness. Although there is no agreed upon criteria for what a quality ECCE looks like, the UNESCO believes that useful factors include pedagogy materials, personnel training, service setting, and parental education and involvement. There should be a curriculum and there should be plenty of learning material that is culturally and developmentally adequate. The focus of the center should be child-centered. It is also essential that workers have adequate training and work conditions are essential so they can integrate the content and practice and addresses the transition to formal school.
