Learning is enhanced when you take time to reflect on the process. This week, you will have a reflective journal assignment that asks you to do just that. This is a graded learning assignment. Write a 1-page reflection that answers the questions given, supported with references in APA format. Be sure to address all the questions in the journal assignment, make reflective, insightful, and relevant connections between the questions and knowledge gained from coursework, use details, examples, viewpoints, and interpretations of the topic.
Americans have very diverse family structures that impact the varied needs for early education and childcare. Working parents and families need affordable, flexible, and high-quality early child care and education for their children. Licensed programs must meet quality criteria and demonstrate the ways they are involving parents and families in the care and education of their children.
In this journal, discuss a variety of diverse child care arrangements that may be needed and why. What future trends do you expect to see in early child care arrangements?
Explore the early childhood care and education websites included in this week’s readings and describe how you as an administrator of a before and aftercare program would ensure the quality of your program and encourage parent, early care settings, and community partnerships.
