  • Cultural Analysis: Preschool In Three Cultures Revisited

    1677 Words  | 7 Pages

    The current time period is one of unprecedented change; and of almost constant interaction, with each other, and with those of distant lands. Based on enhancements in technology and communication, one would assume that over the generation between the time when the first edition of Preschool in Three Cultures was published and when Preschool in Three Cultures Revisted was published, would show that education officials are closer to understanding what the best practices are for the universal preschool-aged child. Educators, administrators, and policy makers have been exposed to more practices from around the globe than ever before. Being that all three preschools are working with the same age group, with similar developmental needs, one would think that these three nations’ early childhood education systems have grown more alike because best practices for a three year old should look the same in the United States, China, and Japan. Along with that thought, each system has elements of value: shouldn’t “best” parts of each system be combined to create the “perfect

    For all the personnel working in the Early Years both here in Ireland and internationally, improving quality experiences for all young children is therefore a priority of theirs (Reed & Canning, 2011). The Norwegian leading experts in the field of early education like all adopt a more holistic approach to child development and focus on the ‘here and now’ rather than on the skills for tomorrow (Hasan,2007) (Cited by OECD 2006).Compared to Ireland, Nordic countries in particular have comprehensive around services for families with young children.

  • Argumentative Essay: Should Preschool Be Mandatory?

    1170 Words  | 5 Pages

    There are a great number of studies that state that the first five years of a child’s development are the most important and that they will set the tone for the child’s ability to learn, socialize, and be a successful member of society. Because of this, proponents believe that preschool should become mandatory for all children. While this might seem like a good solution to some, preschool should not be mandatory for all children before they enter kindergarten. There are many factors to be considered in a child 's early development and to put a blanket demand on entering preschool, could be a disservice to some children based on parental influences, environmental factors, and the level of education and care being given in a particular home childcare
