Every child should have the opportunity to grow up in a setting that values children, that provides conditions for a safe and secure environment, and that respects diversity. Children must receive appropriate nurture and education within and outside their families from birth onward if they are to develop optimally.
Attention to the health, nutrition, education, and psychosocial development of children during their early years is essential for the future well-being of nations and the global community.
The new century offers opportunities to consolidate recent gains and respond to new challenges that lie ahead. We urge that members of the global community:
- Assess the extent to which it has carried out previously made commitments to support the education and development of young children
- Develop and implement a range of policies to advance the provision of an interrelated and flexible continuum of early childhood services
- Allocate resources from national governments, development agencies, governmental and non-governmental organizations, and private and voluntary groups to provide quality services
- Collaborate reciprocally across nations to advance the interests of young children and families.
The following areas must be considered in providing a comprehensive network of early childhood services that offer learning and care for children in the next century:
- Environment and Physical Space of Settings for Children
- Curriculum Content and Pedagogy
- Early Childhood Educators and Caregivers
- Partnership With Families and Communities
- Services for Young Children with Special Needs
- Accountability, Supervision, and Management of Programs for Children
Within each area, special attention must be directed toward:
- Services with equal attention to all children
- Linkages among programs and services for optimal effectiveness and utilization of resources
- Recognition of the value of those who care for and teach young children, including working conditions and appropriate remuneration
- Intergenerational approaches whenever feasible
- Empowerment of communities, families, and children
- A mechanism for adequate and uninterrupted funding
- Cost analysis, monitoring, and evaluation of program quality.
Executive summary By Morgan Hamilton
Pre-school years are a fun time in your child’s life. Nowadays early childhood education programs are available for children at this age. It would be wise to consider an early childhood program for your pre-school children.
The earlier a child is taught the brighter the future for that child will be. It prepares the child for the learning process and the curriculum that are offered in public schools. Many children experience problems as they adjust to the public school environment.
The World-Wide-Web is packed with children’s games that can enhance their learning capacity in a fun filled environment. This inventive technology can help your child develop learning and understanding skills.
If you are planning early childhood program for your child, then you should consider trying the Internet for games that can help your child.
