Throughout the history of early childhood education, many www.essayup.com studies have been performed and many child-centered educational methodologies have been developed in order to find the ways to best teach our children. Given the importance of early childhood education, much effort has been and continues to be devoted toward researching the best ways to educate our young children.

Kindergarten is one of the first widespread early childhood education programs in the United States. In 1884, the National Education Assocation (NEA) created the Department of Kindergarten Education. Within the next year, the NEA recommended kindergarten education programs be established in all public schools in the United States.

Next came the nursery school movement. The first nursery school was started in England in 1911 and nursery schools soon made their way over to the United States. By 1933, there were 1700 nursery schools in the United States. Preschool education was bolstered by involvement at the government level in early childhood education.

In 1926, The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) was founded in the United States with the mission of working on behalf of children from birth to age 8. It is now the world’s largest organization with this mission and has nearly 80,000 members.

In 1965, Head Start was launched with the original mission of helping prepare low-income children for kindergarten. The program has now expanded to help create healthy development in low-income children ages three to five by providing education, health and social services.

Currently, there is more emphasis than ever on early childhood education. Parents are increasingly aware of the importance of early childhood education and are making sure their children understand fundamental concepts before sending them to kindergarten. There are now numerous degree programs at colleges and universities in order to teach the latest theories of childhood education.

Despite the large number of early childhood education programs in colleges and universities, there still remains a bit of inconsistency between the programs offered. The majority of early childhood education degrees are offered as part of a two-year degree program, though there are an increasing number of schools offering four-year degree programs. There is not agreement between the programs and various certification standards over what ages early childhood education is meant to cover. Also, there remain wide variations between the curriculums in early childhood education programs.

Though the number of early childhood education professionals is increasing, parents still bear a huge amount of the burden when it comes to early childhood education. Parents are looked upon to nurture and teach their children in all of their daily interactions. Children imitate the actions and behaviors of their parents, both good and bad. A stimulating environment that allows the child to learn and grow is crucial.
