...poverty with a five year old child. Your child doesn’t attend preschool and goes straight into kindergarten. They begin to struggle in school and lack basic math skills, pre-reading skills, and social skills. Over time, the lack of these skills builds up. By the time your child gets to high school and makes decisions about college, it’s too late. They are not “college level material.” Unfortunately, this is the scenario for many children in low income families. But what if having your child attend preschool made the difference between being prepared for college or not? What if preschool was available to all low-income families? The Annie E. Casey Foundation states, “Only three out of 10 Washington children, ages 3 and 4, were enrolled in preschool programs that met the minimum state standards last year.” Their point is that this is a wide early education gap! Seventy percent of children are not enrolled in preschool programs that meet state standards. As well, as results in a Georgia State University study, indicated that preschool significantly decreases the achievement gap. Children began preschool well behind the national norms on three of four skill assessments (receptive language, cognition, letter/word recognition, and expressive language) and finished preschool well above the national norms after the program (Henry, et al, 7). This is why the government should redirect our resources to include universal preschool in the Yakima Valley. This will enable future generations to...

...Macion, Rona Liza T. 3BSED – Mathematics Preschool pupils must not be over 5—DepEd By Dona Z. Pazzibugan Philippine Daily Inquirer How old should a child in preschool be? With kindergarten now mandatory under the K to 12 program, the Department of Education (DepEd) has required preschools and day care centers to comply with the standard requisite age for preschoolers. The preschool age should normally be up to 5 years old only, since by 6 years old a child is expected to be in Grade 1, according to the DepEd. Under Republic Act No. 10157 or the universal public kindergarten program passed last year, the DepEd made one year of kindergarten compulsory and a prerequisite to entering Grade 1. Kindergarten is free to 5-year-olds in the public elementary schools under the K to 12 basic education reform program, which consists of kindergarten, six years of elementary, two years of junior high and two years of senior high school. “Private (pre)schools should follow (the standard),” Education Undersecretary for Programs and Projects Yolanda Quijano said. “Whether they have nursery, kinder 1 or kinder 2 levels, they should now follow [the standard] that kinder is for 5-year-olds and Grade 1 is for 6-year-olds,” she said. Quijano clarified that while the DepEd required only one year of kindergarten, parents who can afford private day care centers or preschools can have their children start school as young as 3 or 4 years old to prepare them for regular schooling. Before...

...not only covers that academic aspect but also sheds light on the benefits preschool education has on social and emotional aspects of children's life. After collecting this information, it will be collaborated with the findings of this research paper using different research technique. In the end, the paper will be concluded along with some suggestions. Introduction In this competitive world it is very important to train the children in such a way that they are not left behind. Study shows that with pre-school training, children show much developed skills of learning when they enter kindergarten. If a child is being read to at home, visits museums, learns how to play a game and reads along someone then it is more likely that his/her learning abilities are polished and ready for kindergarten (Stube & Patrick, 2010). Pre-school is a planned program for children before they start their formal education. It deals with the learning ability of a child. Children are trained in such a way that their learning abilities are enhanced. Specified techniques are used to improve the language skills and analytical skills. it also has a positive effect on the behavioral aspect of a child's personality. Bridges (2008) found out from the research that involving parents is very critical for the success of pre-school training. Also, involvement of community can be very vital in the accomplishment of a successful preschool training center. Margetts (2007)...

...I can’t even remember all the times I’ve been asked the question: “Why would you want to be a teacher?” I hear all about how little teachers are paid, and how people “just don’t know how you do it.” I have had people treat me like they don’t really think preschool teachers are teachers, rather, over-paid babysitters. I wrote a blog post on it once, so did my friend, Kristi Sauer. I’ve written about why preschool is important. What I haven’t written about, was why I choose to be a preschool teacher, or more like, why I stay a preschool teacher. It doesn’t pay great, especially if you are working in a child care setting. Working for a school district pays significantly better, but still doesn’t offer some of the benefits that “regular” teachers get (such as health care, pay stretched out over the summer, etc.). Those things don’t matter so much to me. Yes, this has led to some huge financial struggles over the years, but to me, doing what I love is more important. There have been a couple of amazing opportunities over the years that I have passed up on. The pay on said positions was much higher, but they weren’t teaching jobs. A Director position wasn’t hands on enough for me… My passion is to teach young children. The highlights of my days at work are when I see a child’s eyes light up when they learn/try something new. When they suddenly are able to make the letters in their name, or do something they weren’t previously able to do, I get as excited as they do. When a...

...Part A The two countries which will be focused on will be New Zealand and Scotland . The main aim is to focus on the nursery environment and the curriculum. Legislation The legislation which is commonly used in New Zealand is the 'Education (Early Childhood Centres) Regulations 1998'. The nursery will be inspected at least every three years. The legislation covers things such as the basic curriculum, child protection, staff ratios, qualifications and attendance of staff and children. They will also look at health and safety, first aid and the involvement of parents. The legislation used in New Zealand is similar to the National Care Standards which are used in Scotland. These standards are for childcare services for children and young people up to the age of 16. These standards are regulated under the Regulation of care (Scotland) Act 2001. There are 14 standards which act as guidelines for nursery settings to follow. The Nursery will then be inspected by the care inspectors and will be graded 1-6. These inspections can happen every 1-2 years depending on the nursery grades. The standards will include such things as being welcomed and valued, having a safe environment, how staff engage with children, staff training and the involvement of parents and the community. With regards to legislation the two countries are similar as they each are following guidelines which are keeping standards high. They are each inspected regularly, although Scottish nurseries will be...

...D2 I had an interview at Little Owls Pre School Nursery and was called by the manager named as Elaine Kelly. I was called on 26th Jan 2014 at any time between 9am till 3:15pm so I asked my sister and dad to drop me but unfortunately they were not free that day so I asked my brother he said he was available at 1pm so I decided to go at that time because I did not have any fix time by the manager so the day before my interview I texted Elaine as I had her mobile number and asked her that was it possible that she will be free at 1pm to see me and she replied that she is available. After doing my college and house work I read the letter that I got from Jacque and in that there were some restrictions on dressing so I read that and I was not allowed to wear short dresses, jeans and trainers so I decided to wear my simple and decent Asian clothes and then took them out of the cupboard and ironed them after that I took matching shoes and made sure they were clean after that I took out my DBS certificate from my file and put that in my bag and then made sure that my college ID was in bag. Then I put an alarm on my phone in case I might be in deep sleep as I had a day off from college and then done a bit research on the nursery and went to sleep.

...Women The radical move of switching to the 4+4+4 education system has increased the tendency of girls, who are fifth and sixth graders, to abandon their education. The allowance of homeschooling for the high school students resulted in over 100,000 female students to abandon their education within the first year of its introduction. Vocational and technical schools which train personnel for the labor market are really inefficient in routing female students to new professions. The labor force participation rate of Turkish women is way behind the 1990 rates and is very low by international standards. In 2012, the labor force participation rate of Turkish women was 29%, whereas this rate was 24% in the rural areas. The labor force participation rate of women in EU and OECD countries amount to 60%. Turkey ranks last with its women labor participation rate in OECD countries and there is also a huge difference between the labor participation rate of Mexico which is last but one in the ranking list with 47.1%. Many women are directed for not working or working only in certain job fields due to reasons like “this work environment is not suitable for women” or “that work is against our customs and traditions”. Rights like leaving the job with severance pay for newly-wed women or extended maternity leave, which came into force within the AKP government’s period, are not encouraging for women employment. According to a World Bank report, women in Turkey are paid 20% less in average...

Stages of Development: Eric Erikson: Initiative vs. Guilt. During this stage the child are focused on purpose, exploration and egocentric ideas and speech. During this period the preschooler experiences a desire to copy adults around them, take initiative in play situations, make up stories using barbies, toy phones, cars, playing roles like “Ninja” and “Pirate” They use imagination and fantasy during play and use parallel play. The also explore the world by asking “WHY” and “HOW” to understand new things.The preschoolers all become involved in the oedipal struggle. If they get frustrated over desires and goals they experience guilt. If they are unsuccessful at achieving a goal they become aggressive and may act is disapproving behavior. Piaget: Preoperational- Egocentric During this stage the child is selfish and believes they are the center of attention. They begin to feel that what they say is most important and all attention should be focused towards them. They often speak when others are speaking and get frustrated when they are not listened to. In the classroom, I observed many of these characteristics of the preschooler. Upon my arrival they all ran to me and all wanted me to themselves, offering their choice of play. They all agreed to give me “Breakfast” where I sat at a play kitchen table in their play...

Cumberland County public school system does not have the best reputation for educating students and has created a need for more private schools. Currently, we only offer a preschool program but plan to expand into the elementary school ages. As the new school year approaches I will be redesigning the classroom environment and curriculum by incorporating theories from Reggio Emilia, Creative Curriculum, and High Scope Curriculum along with including state standard activities to cover the main concepts for the core subjects to prepare for Kindergarten. Classroom environment and teaching strategies will incorporate philosophies and theories from Reggio Emilia, Creative Curriculum, High Scope Curriculum, and Piaget’s theory into a comprehensive curriculum design for preschoolers. When developing curriculum it is important for this age group to have several approaches. “Children ages 3–8 benefit from planned, teacher-guided, interactive small-group and large- group experiences” (NAEYC, 2009). “Reggio Emilia programs demonstrate how planning an environment is driven by respect for the rights of the...

Students need to learn that reading is fun, and the Reading Corner can provide that foundation. Place this area near the entrance to the classroom so students, parents and other teachers see it as a focal point of the room when they walk in.
