Sharing Web Resources

The outside links I explored led to issues about free parent brochures and guides, maltreatment, child abuse and neglect, school readiness, and impact of trauma to name a few.  The area I chose to search was school readiness.  This issue is important to me because I mentor teachers and assist in preparing young children for kindergarten on a daily basis in my profession.  The link contained a web-based, interactive tool designed to help parents and caregivers support their young children's early learning.  You'll find age-based information on how children develop the four key skills - language and literacy skills, thinking skills, self-confidence and self-control that are critical to later school success.  No new information was available on school readiness, nor was there any information pertaining to or adding to my understanding of equity and excellence in early care and education to be found in any of the links.
