Early Childhood is a great debate I believe in the United States. Many people I feel do not know the importance of early childhood services especially preschool. I feel like many people feel that preschool is just a day care. I have received comments many times on when am I going to go to school to become a teacher. I tell them I am and then they say no a real teacher. People do not realize that that is degrading and wrong to say but that is just the view of the public.
I feel that only a handful of people look for a quality early childhood program. I feel like most parents just put their child in a program that is close to their home. They do not look into the program to see if it is the best. When something happens that is when they complain.
I feel like funding is a huge issue because people do not feel that early childhood should be given money but then they are also upset when the cost is to high for them. Leaving many of the children in the care of relatives. I feel like relatives are a great source of care but children also need the social side of the child care experience.
The reason I feel all of the above is just listening to parents and people in the community.
