"Babies are deeply driven and oassionate about  understanding the world and understanding the people around them. A baby's whole essence is about plugging into the world".

I was recently honored with a new grand child and being able to watch him grow every day for the past month has been such a blessing. The day a newborn enters the world they become aware of their new environment, and they began to 'tune in' to the new sights, sounds, smells,sensations and people they are introduced to.


You're All My Favorites  written by: Sam McBratney

This is an excellent book for parents or grandparents to read to a child/ren. It assures each one that they are the most important. regardless of birth order or any other superior trait one believes the other possesses.


What fuels my passion is the unconditional love children give. When you enter a room they run up and give big smiles and hugs. This is what makes the day worth it. There are always going to be tough moments when you are working in group care, but hte rewards are the best.

Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources  My initial request has not produced any response as of yet. I am hopeful that I will hear something in the coming week. If not, I will pursue the alternative assignment.  I requested correspondence form an early childhood professor in South Africa at the University of Limpopo, and I also emailed an organization in Mali for information on their early childhood issues and trends. I am eager to compare the differences in approaches as well as the areas that are similar. Since I am familiar with several of the organizations listed in the resource section I wanted to find one that I wanted to learn more about. I chose to explore is the Global Fund for Children (GFC). The site contains a variety of information from all over the world concerning children’s well-being. The GFC invests in and supports grassroots organizations that enabled the world’s most vulnerable children to succeed. I also subscribed to the news...

Scholar Practioiners as Program Evaluators

According to Gilliam (2003) ongoing, job-embedded professional development is essential in guiding early childhood educators in understanding and adapting the curriculum to meet the learning needs of culturally and linguistically diverse children and children with disabilities, and design more effective approaches to working with all children. I intend to utilize the information I learn in this course to plan and implement best practices to produce positive outcomes for children. Research from the shows that supportive relationships combined with stimulating environments are essential in infant and toddler brain architecture   (National Symposium on Early Childhood Science and Policy, n.d.) .
