Research Around the World

The internations website I decided to explore was http://www.earlychildhoodaustrailia.org.au/
This website is equivalent to the U.S. based NAEYC.  Some of the current topics addressed on this website are: school readiness, children't transistions, baby and toddler sleeping, child health, and childhood obesity. 

From this website I gained knowledge about how other areas of the world are dealing with issues within the early childhood field, as well as, being able to use resources that are offered through their website with new information regarding the field.

Something noteworthy from this website was reading about The Everyday Learning Series.  This series focuses its attention on the everyday ways in which young children-babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers-can be supported in their growth and development.
