- UNESCO is an advocate for Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) programs which attend to health, nutrition, security and learning that provides growth for children's holistic development.
- The early childhood programs by UNESCO focus on a holistic pre-primary education for children over the age of 3. UNESCO also has a phased plan to impel the education sector to eventually respond to the needs of younger children and partnership with families for children under the age of 3.
- UNESCO also partners with many organizations and foundations across the world to ensure the health and well-being of children and their families. Here is the link to their partners: http://www.unesco.org/new/en/education/themes/strengthening-education-systems/early-childhood/partners/

International Contacts- Part 3
For my blog assignment this week I explored the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) website. While looking through the website I found three insights that pertains to my own professional goals and development:
The links to the partnerships and the mission of UNESCO relates to me because their values relate to my field. Since I work in the early childhood field I can relate to their mission and apply it to my own work. They make it their mission to ensure the proper care and holistic growth in education for children around the world. It was interesting to see all the work around the world that UNESCO does to ensure the holistic growth of children. This is a great resource to other to view what is being done in the early childhood field around the world.

Hello Heather,
ReplyDeleteThe UNESCO organization website was very informative. I agree with you about their mission statement and wanting to provide a holistic education. I also became interested by the websites partnership and the work they do around the world, Thanks for sharing and great blog post.
This website is an invaluable resource for Early Childhood Educators. I love the holistic approach to education. Children need to learn about health, nutrition, and the world around them at an early age.
ReplyDeleteHeather,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing about your research. UNESCO’s website sounds very resourceful. It’s great to hear UNESCO advocates for ECCE programs that focus on the child’s holistic development. I found it great that the organization has programs for children three and up and plan something out for children three and younger. I did not know UNESCO was supporting children across the world. The mission statement also interested me and relates to my values.
Thanks,
Staci
