website – http://www.eecera.org. In doing so I learned that poverty in European countries has increased over the last 10 years, which places young children at higher risk of living in poverty; poverty in early childhood as in many other countries including the United States has been noted to have irreversible negative consequences for cognitive, social and emotional development, academic achievement and behavioral adjustment.
Insights that I gained from exploring this international
early childhood website is poverty in early childhood education, lack of
funding for high quality early childhood education, the need for ECEC standards
and curriculums to be adapted to meet the needs and cultural perspective of
communities living in poverty and need for policies to enhance the
inclusiveness of ECEC as well as the need to combine family support and support
for bilingual development appears to be a collective issues that all counties
share especially here in the United States.
The dynamics of Early Childhood Research that can be
found on this site is remarkable. The
European Early Childhood Research Journal covers subjects in Early Childhood,
Early years, Education as well as Primary and Elementary Education.

ReplyDeleteThank you for this information. I now can see what my colleagues in Europe were referring to when I spoke them recently. Property does not discriminate and has no boundaries. That is why good support mechanisms need to be in place.
Hi Sandra!, I explored that website also! it was some very interesting facts on it. Great Post!
ReplyDeleteSandra,
ReplyDeleteInternationally complexities of poverty tremendously affect the wellbeing of young children and their individual families. Countless programs and contributors like the ECEC programs are highly necessary to provide accurate awareness and factors in hope to eliminate this vast adversity. I believe national officials and government policy holders should be hold accountable for these difficult circumstances and continually lobbied against.
It is saddening that they may have less funding for early childhood than we do in America. However, I am not surprised that we have some of the same issues, Thanks for the post, Im happy to have read this information about Europe.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I hear about poverty existing in other countries, tend to be surprised as if it is impossible. I researched Australia I learned they face some of the same challenges as the US.
