Discussion Post: Preschool in Different Cultures
As efforts to expand preschool education in this country have increased, so has interest in looking to other countries to see how they are educating their youngest children. Use the Internet to find information on preschool education in a country of your choosing (and try to pick one that another student has not already selected). Then answer the following questions:
• Which country did you choose, and why?
• Generally speaking, how is preschool education viewed in this country? What percentage of children attend preschool programs?
• What is a typical preschool program like in this country? What kind of training are preschool teachers required to complete?
• Does the government provide financial support for parents to send their children to preschool? Are there any other incentives provided?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
