...explore the research existing in this field. It will help us to understand what effect pre-school has on children. Such programs are also discussed in the paper which is conducting training for preschoolers for their development. This paper 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...

...Children’s early stage of development in School Saint Leo University My report will consist of children’s behavior from preschool all the way through elementary school. This paper presents disruptive behavior in young behaviors in young children which includes Attention Deficit Disorder that consist of being hyper all day whether they in school or they are at home. The new method that they find out if a child has a behavior problem is to distinct between normative behavior and a typical behavior during their growth years. During their growth years while they are in preschool years they act out their developmental period that they starting to develop autonomy. A big deal of different behavior changes that fall under the Rubric outgoing behavior. Some children have Attention Deficit Disorder and don’t even know it until they are tested by their Physician. Most children in preschool mock other children and they pick up everything that other children are doing and also what they have learned to speak. Parents always asked themselves can you teach a young child or children to manage to manage their own behavior. According to (McDavis,2007) you can teach them self-management to pay attention to the oneself behavior and also to complete activities using effective appropriate behavior. You basically have to ask yourself like I did when I had preschoolers and elementary school age children. Is the child able to make different accurate self –assessments to her or his behavior...

...Philosophy of Education This paper focuses on my personal philosophy of education. Many educators cringe when they hear people ask what their philosophy of education is. This paper offers techniques and strategies that educators can implement when writing their personal philosophies. Also included in this paper are my belief statements on my personal philosophy on education. Lastly, my paper discusses the influences that have helped shaped my philosophy on education. “Your personal philosophy is not just a written statement. It is a perspective that involves your beliefs and values and becomes the basis from which you make decisions about what is important and about your role as an educator” (Armstrong, Henson, & Savage, 2009, p. 278). Through experience and research I wholeheartedly believe that developmentally appropriate practice is the best model for early childhood education. Children learn exceptionally well when in an environment that encourages play and exploration. Being a part of a preschool program it is my goal that the environment should provide experiences that are interactive and engaging for the age levels of the children it serves. Play is a powerful tool that benefits children’s intellectual, social, emotional, physical and language development. Writing a teaching philosophy can be a very daunting task, Montell (2003) suggests, “reflecting on what you don't like can give you insights about what you do like," and that...

...Comprehensive profile of history and development of the ECCE sector in Ireland. In 1969 the first state run preschool was opened in Rutland street in Dublin. Its aims were for children who were from disadvantaged areas. The department of education worked with an organization called the Van Leer foundation. This organization promotes the early education of children in economically disadvantaged areas. They both set up the pre-school in Rutland street. They were known as early pre-schools. 40 pre-schools had opened nationally. Their aims were to combat the effects of economic and social achievements. These aims were achieved by giving a good start to a child's education. (Flood and Hardy,2015) In 1973 the bar for marriage was lifted which allowed woman to return to work, it was lifted as there was nobody to look after children in families. This then created a need for child minders and childcare services. The preschool education was mainly in the private sector for children with the need of specific intervention and with special needs. The ECEC needs for babies, young children and their families were all met by the community, private enterprises and voluntary. (Flood, E. and Hardy,2013) According to early childhood Ireland, 2015 in 1992 Ireland ratified the UN convention on the rights of the child. The convention stated that a 'child' as a person is below the age of 18, unless a particular countries law set the legal age below the age of 18 for the age of adulthood. The convention...

...Brooks-Gunn, 2003; Karoly, et al, 1998). In recent years, policymakers and researchers in the United States have re-examined the role that quality early education can play in the lives of young children, primarily those growing up in poverty (Rouse, Brooks-Gunn, & McLanahan, 2005). Specifically, some have argued that high quality education and care programs that begin early in life have the potential to close gaps in school achievement that often exist between poor and minority children and their middle-class, mostly White, counterparts (Magnuson & Waldfogel, 2005).Based on these conclusions, U.S. policymakers and practitioners interested in improving the lives of poor children have considered the possibility that early education programs may contribute to solving the myriad of problems that growing up in poverty poses. This paper will examine the benefits of early education and the arguments against early education and references or in text citation with bibliography. Introduction During early years, children go through critical stages of development, and consistent, high-quality early education can have long-lasting, beneficial effects on the overall development of children. Choosing a preschool in which your child will be loved and cared for is of utmost importance, of course. But it's also important to select a preschool that will partner with your family to ensure your child's healthy development throughout his or her early education years. Some parents believe that early education...

...STS limitations in teaching education and research questions Stig Broström from Denmark raises an interesting question: What is pedagogical quality from a child’s retrospective perspective? The paper focuses on ten-year-olds’ reflections on their lives in preschool. An interesting and specific research method was applied in this study, where twelve ten-year-old children collected data from their classmates. We hope the reader will be particularly delighted reading the findings of this research, which, in general, describes preschool as a positive period of life – “a life full of positive and exciting activities, and as a place of unrestrained freedom.” Gerd Pettersson from Sweden, Kristina Ström from Finland and Jan-Birger Johansen from Norway take the reader to rural Nordic schools. Using interviews with teachers as a research method, this Nordic research team present to the reader the teachers’ views on the resources available for supporting students with special educational needs. Such categories as relationship, collaboration, distance and concerns were taken into account, where “relationship and collaboration are enabling conditions for support while distance and concern are constraining conditions.” The reader will get the confirmation that “rural schools, regardless of location, are learning environments in which inclusion and diversity are natural and integral.” Christel Sundqvist and Emma Lönnqvist from Finland invite the reader to continue the discussion about the...

...Kristof, Discusses little research in the begginingf the article, giving me on research example about kids from welfare homes and kids from professional homes, and how the Professional children are introduced to 30 million more words by the age of 4. However, the title of the study or conductor was not enclose. The proposed solution, that is being used in Oklahoma research, is a free preschool program for 4-year olds and even some lessons for parents on how to read and speak to children more fregently. Oklahoma also provides additonal help to children under 4 in need. He talks a bit about Obamas propostion of a program like this and the critizsims republicans have of it, which are that it may be a fuzzy new social program, or a legacy for Obama. The article did explain the cause, early preschool, very well and I do see how it is lnked to development, because of the articles importance of nurture during the childs developement and our childrens learning developments relationship to later choices in life, such as crime, pregnancy, and dropping out. Discussions 1. The position of the article is pretty clear before I even got to the authors name. The Authors choice of words, " high-quality preschool" and "Oklahoma!" just feel so positive to me, almost like an ad to join in. Throughout the paper all I recieved was more postive vibes.

...Infancy and Early Childhood Development Paper DeAnna Buckley Psy 375 November 17, 2014 Linda O'Connor Infancy and Early Childhood Development Paper Introduction Parents get excited to hear their baby’s first words and wonder will it be mama or da da? To see their first steps to experience the moment when they use the potty for the first time to when they go for their first day of preschool. All of these brief experiences are unforgettable precious moments. There are so many important aspects as an infant grows and develops into early childhood. There are several essential aspects that affect how a child develops such as how families affect development. In addition, this paper will discuss in further detail how specific parenting styles such as authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and uninvolved can affect childhood development. Furthermore, another influential factor can be early childhood education and its influence on cognitive development. Families Affect Development Families can help aide in the development of children but can hinder learning and development also. Families possess more influence on a child’s development than any other person or situation at that current time or any other period of life. “Nurturing relationships in a family are critical for the healthy development of a child. If a child feels safe, secure, and loved in their family, it helps with the formation of their self-esteem and well-being. It can also lead to a child who is more socially...

...1101 20 March 2012 My college major and why writing about this topic will be beneficial to me: My major is Early Childhood Education. After I graduate I want to eventually open my own daycare center but before that I will probably get some teaching done first. Researching about the most effective teaching methods will help me run a more beneficial daycare center in the future. My purpose: The purpose of my final research paper is to educate my audience of what the most effective teaching method(s) are. I want my reader to know what the benefits are for children whose daycare teachers use the Montessori teaching method. I will prove to them that the Montessori teaching methods are very beneficial to infant-toddler and primary students and that it should be one of the leading methods used. My working thesis and any assumptions: Childcare providers for children ages 0-4 should follow the Montessori teaching method because teaching methods used in children’s early ages has a long term impact on them. My approach to the subject of my paper: In the structure of my paper I will first define what a childcare/daycare is, what is actually considered to be a daycare. After I will tell about different types of teaching methods used and what some outcomes from previous studies have shown about different ones. I will then prove why the Montessori teaching method is the best one to use for children ages 0-4 and show the benefits that children will have from using this method in the long run...

...Lavonne Anderson-Smallwood SOC110 Sociology in a Global Perspective The Application Paper Professor Leap May 6, 2015 Making a gendered body: Practices of Preschools, the naturalness of gender differences underlines gender equality. They have conducted research within five preschool classrooms to observe everyday movements, comportment and how the use of physical space becomes gendered. The hidden curriculum controls hidden body practices, also uses girl and boy children to see how their bodies differ. The five sets of practices that create these differences are dressing up, permitting relaxed behaviors, and controlling voices, verbal and physical instructions given by teachers and their physical interactions. Social science researchers often focus more on a woman’s more than the mans, because parts of the woman’s body is most explicitly different from a men’s reproductive capacities and sexuality (E. Martin 1987; K Martin 1996; but see Connell 1997, 1995). Men and women in the United States also hold and move differently (Birdwhistell 1970; Hensley 1977; Young 1990). Argue that gender plays an important part in performance and doing but it becomes who we are physically and psychologically. According to (Cornell 1990) gender becomes embedded in body postures. The Social definition is as follows, mental body images as well as fantasies are how men’s bodies become neutralized, and Cornell as suggest that masculine gender is partly a feel’s to one’s body which creates their...

...The Lack of Early Childhood Education in Minority Neighborhoods Gildon R Turner AIU Online Abstract This country prides itself in being a better place for people to come and work better and to get a better education. We are falling far too short on both counts more so with education. We are still not separated and equal. This paper will talk to you about the differences in the minority neighborhoods and why our government should be taking a closer look at the lack of early childhood education and how this education is an investment into our future. The Lack of Early Childhood Education in Minority Neighborhoods Early childhood education is an investment in our future. Haycock, K (2011) stated that, “In minority neighborhoods there are less early childhood educational facilities and if they exist low-income and minority students are less likely than their white and more affluent peers to have the teachers with the proper academic background to teach the subject matter they are teaching”. Due to the shape of the economy at the present time, it is even harder for minority children to receive this type of education. Most are one parent families and are not making the money it would cost to send their children to a good head start program. “So when black and Latino twelfth-graders perform at about the same level as white eight graders, it is not just a “minority” problem; it’s a national problem...
