ECED 420 – Planning and Administering Early Childhood Program
Aloha Everyone!
“Thank you!” I just wanted to take this opportunity to say how this course (ECED 420) and everyone’s (fellow classmates and Dr. Iorio) thoughts and opinion open my eyes on to early childhood care. It’s funny that among teachers we tend to blame each other if a student is not achieving his/her level of education.
For example, I have friends who are teachers in Secondary Education (7th – 12th graders) who blames elementary teachers (me) for not doing our jobs in teaching and preparing those students for high school level of education. Taking this course open my eyes to this, it is so important for children to be enrolled in early childhood care. Early childhood care is the foundation to every child education. Early childhood care prepares them to basic level of learning and understanding. Children who don’t attend early childhood care will have a difficult time in learning. Don’t get me wrong children will still learn but it will just take them a little longer.
Teachers in early childhood care, in elementary education, in secondary education, and to college level education, we all need to work together and recognize what roles we play as teachers. We need to support early childhood care because it’s the foundation for every child education.
So my hat goes off to all the people who works in early childhood care, from administrations to the teachers “Keep up with the good work!”
Everyone, have a safe and wonderful Christmas holidays and God bless you all!
Peace & Aloha,
Mr. Gary
