Talk: Early childhood education
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
I do not understand the "Job possibilities" section, still less why it appears twice. Children under 9 are not allowed jobs in most of the world, so who does this apply to? Is this their eventual possible job? If so, why choose these ones.

I suppose that was cleaned up... because now it clearly refers to job possibilites for adults who have gone through an education in early childhood. I found that section rather helpful and unique, as I am in a grad program for early childhood. I do have some constructive criticism however... This page clearly needs more intra-wiki links to relevant pages on theorists, approaches to early childhood, and links to current topics in the field. here are some rough suggestions
Piaget - stages of cognitive development Vygotsky - importance of socialization, zone of proximal development Howard Gardner - Multiple intelligence theory Froebel - kindergarten Cognitive Science play kindergarten anti-bias curriclum child protection services parenting infants, crying toddlers, walking preschool nursery school Head Start Universal Pre-K Montessori British Infant Schools special education etc
