I
explored the Early childhood Australia website located at: http://www.earlychildhoodaustralia.org.au/
Early Childhood Australia-A voice for young children. The mission of Early Childhood Australia is to
advocate for children birth to eight years in equity and quality in education
and care. I truly enjoyed this website,
there was so much to explore and learn. I particularly liked the Research
in Practice Series which provides resources and information on major topics and trends for
those involved in the early childhood field. The series focuses on a wide range
of topics essentially on the ‘hands-on’ aspects of early childhood. Some of the
current research topics that they have addressed include: Learning and teaching
through play, children as communicators, Early Years Learning Framework, confidence
in children and Bullying.
As I
explored the site further I found the early childhood archives and was really
interested in the recent media release on May 9th that discussed the
continual support for quality early education for children. It discussed the
Federal Budget’s commitment to provide additional funding to assist in
attracting early childhood teachers in remote areas. The funding will provide
$225 million dollars over 4 years which will provide an extra 130,000 families
with high quality care.
