In speaking with my professional contact in Ireland, I was able to receive great responses to many of the questions listed in this week’s assignment. Like in the United States, Ireland is focusing on affordable quality childcare for every family. They are also focusing on professional development in hopes that with will contribute to quality programming.
It is interesting to see, that although we are in different countries, many places struggle with the same things that we struggle with in the United States. It is also reassuring to see that there are early childhood activists all over the globe. I believe that together, we really can make a difference!

Amanda,
ReplyDeleteI often think of you when I hear anything about Alaska on the news, and I have learned so much from reading your blog posts and discussions. Thank you for sharing what you learned from your early childhood professional in Ireland, I would love to travel there one day. I love when you said, "It is also reassuring to see that there are early childhood activists all over the globe. I believe that together, we really can make a difference!" Isn't that amazing!
