Sharing Web Resources

The web site that I chose to research and contact is www.earlychildhoodireland.ie. Early Childhood Ireland supports and represents the people who play a role in the development, delivery and oversight of early childhood care and education in Ireland, and prioritizes the interests of children. Early Childhood Ireland provides professional support and training for early childhood care and education providers, contributes to research and public policy development, promotes quality, accessible childcare for all children, and explores and evaluates innovative and creative child-centered approaches to childcare. On issue discussed in Early Childhood Ireland’s newsletter was raising the cost of childcare. Their argument for raising the cost of care is so they can have better trained and educated pre-school teachers or caregivers. The cost of childcare seems to be a hot issue globally. Are parents willing to pay more for quality care? This is a question that is still unanswered. The reality of it is, at some point, cost plays in effect one way or another.
