Early Childhood Australia

                The website for Early Childhood Australia discusses current international research topics like:

·         Quality early childhood services

·         Support for quality early education and care

·         Childcare funding

·         Early Years Workforce Strategy

·         Budget implications for early childhood resources

                After reviewing Early Childhood Australia website, I have gain insight on a country that is experiencing similar struggles in regards to the field of early childhood.   I found the mission statement,

‘’Early Childhood Australia will advocate to ensure quality, social justice and equity in all issues relating to the education and care of children from birth to eight years’’.

to be empowering because I feel even more compelled to advocate for children and their families with new eyes that allow me to be more aware of addressing the issues of quality, social justice, and equity in the field of early childhood.   

                I found Early Childhood Australia’s values to be noteworthy information to share:

The rights of children

Leadership

Excellence

Respect

Courage

Honesty

Openness

Collaboration

Diversity

Justice

Social inclusion of children

As early childhood professionals we all should place an emphasis in these values when working with children and their families.
