The Early Childhood Australia looks to be working towards
similar goals as the U.S. when it comes to advances in early childhood
education. As I look through their website I found one of their organizations
called KidsMatter Early Childhood that works on behalf of young children and
their families to provide support and care to families affected my mental
health. KidsMatter points out the research that states that early experiences
affect long-term mental-health, relationships, and learning. Something I learned
from this website is their method to language development called the Code; the
Code is a computer program children use to help with language development. It
was interesting to look at this website and see similar initiative surrounding Early
Childhood Education as ones in the U.S. It is refreshing to see that we are not
alone in the things that we advocate for children.
The Code seems to be a great program to help children with language development. Something I wonder about that computerized program: Is it rope memory or is it really teaching the children. Because some of our kids in the US could well benefit from this program as well. Great post
