New ECE Members


I feel great about new ECE members coming to join our wonderful ECE class. This means that they get to enjoy and see how our ECE class is ran. They can understand why we love our ECE class . We want them to love working with younger children and get lots of joy out of it. The different projects that they will do will help them to understand children more. They will visit different daycare to work with the children. They will read to them, do activities with them and love it. They will do different things out in the community like food drives, help at shelters,etc.

Brain Development can Influence Early Childhood Curriculum


There are many different ways that the brain can be developed like language skills which includes reading, writing, and listening and talking. There is spatial representation this includes the skills of visual arts. Then you have the musical thinking this is all about playing an instrument that helps their development skills. Next is body movement which gives the children a chance to learn how to work the whole body or proportions of it. The you have interpersonal intelligence which helps them understand others actions and problems and realizing what other people might need. These are many different things that help with brain development in a young child.

The Future of Children




In this article they say children that go to early childhood programs or that are in preschool programs are more likely to go to school prepared, but the quality of care for the children may be different like black children are more likely to attend preschool than white children but have low-quality care. For young children growing up in the United States Early Childhood Education has become very common experience. Early care and education might widen racial and ethnic gaps if children from racial and ethnic minority groups are less likely to be enrolled in beneficial programs. Public funding of early childhood care and education, particularly Head Start, is already reducing ethnic and racial gaps in preschool attendance. They are focusing mainly on whites, Hispanics, non-Hispanics and African Americans they note that these groups are socially constructed.

What do I do? I Teach!!!!


From interviewing teachers we can learn that they enjoy they job very much and that they love children so much that they make it their jobs to show up everyday and teach these children. We can learn that parents put their trust in these teachers hands and they can see that the teachers are very dedicated to their children. We can learn that you have to have to be patient working in this type of environment with all these kids.
