I would act as I do with most things, proactively. I am going to assume the diagnosis(es) were arrived at through a thorough and collective process of gathering information from several sources, including doctors, schools and myself or any other caregivers involved with the child. That my child's behavior and or learning issues will have been compared to other children the same age and that rating scales have been used to identify and document these "behaviors". That available intelligence tests were administered to evaluate IQ and potentials for learning. I would need to be assured that my child had had a complete and thorough physical exam, including, hearing and vision tests to exclude any underlying somatic issues. Additionally,…

Care and education cannot be thought of as separate entities in dealing with young children (Eager to learn: Educating Our Preschoolers, 2000). For a child’s development to satisfactory, the care should provide quality cognitive stimulation, rich language environments, and the facilitation of social, emotional, and motor development. These qualities are sufficient for a child’s development and the earlier a child develops these characteristic the better it will be for a child’s learning process. Research also says adequate education for young children can occur only in the context of good physical care and of warm affective relationships (Eager to learn: Educating Our Preschoolers, 2000). Moreover, research suggests that secure attachment improves social and intellectual competence and the ability to exploit learning opportunities (Eager to learn: Educating Our Preschoolers, 2000). Learning is not about absorbing facts, but using new information and relating it to what children already know; also known as fostering prior knowledge. To accomplish all of these suggestions, children should be placed in a setting that supports the needed development.…
Early childhood special education is a key step for students who receive special education.

Early childhood special education is a crucial element to creating a stable foundation for students to grow from.…
I set up an appointment with the Kids Club daycare at 9:45 am on November 4th to observe for an hour of toddler classroom who were between three and four years old. The principle gave me a warm greeting and took me to the class and introduced me to the teachers and the children. Everyone there made me feel welcomed. I chose a place where I can sit, observe and write my note as well as to be away from children's sight. In the classroom there were five boys, two girls, and two teachers Ms. Nadia and Ms. Emma. The classroom itself was large and spacious. The classroom is very appropriate for children this age and it has many interesting areas such as a blocks and art area, and children taped some of their previous work in the art area. The color of the class is bright and has interesting posters like calendars with the name of children’s birthdays. Also. There is a toys area that has toys suitable for both boys and girls like cars, animals, and doll. There is a reading area with a little amount of children’s books and stories in reachable…
Many researchers have taken time to learn more about how factors in an infant’s life can affect the way they develop and how it can affect their school years and adulthood. The vast majority of our development occurs in the first years of life, so what happens to us as an infant can be an indicator as to what kind of person we will become later on in life. If one experienced infancy being nurtured by loving caregivers who met their needs, researchers can predict that he or she would turn out to be a so-called normal adult who would face less issues concerning mental health.…

“Today, for an increasing number of infants, toddlers, and young children, early childhood education programs provide their institutional experience outside the home.” (Taba, Castle, Vermeer, Hanchett, Flores, 1999, p 173). There are different kinds of leadership which help people tell what kind of leader they are. There is an advocacy leader, administrative leader, community leader, conceptual leader, and career development leader. Each leader has a unique definition behind them. This helps describe what kind person he or she might be. “There is an urgent need to develop leadership in early childhood education.” (Taba, Castle, Vermeer, Hanchett, Flores, 1999, p176)…
