their inbox once the modem finally connected. For these
new parents, the answer to any question is, and almost always
was, just a click away. These parents are aware of the benefits
of early childhood learning and of the plethora of options
available to them. In addition, shifting demographic patterns,
with an increase in two working parents and single-parent
households, are calling for affordable options for child care.
As the importance and positive impact that early childhood
education has on toddlers is realized, the demand for early
education options continues to increase and expand offerings.
A few key focus areas have been identified as important
initiatives that will shape the young minds of the future,
including early literacy, technology in the classroom, and
emotional, cognitive, social early learning (ECSEL).
Early literacy teaches children letter recognition, word
sounds, vocabulary, and awareness of storytelling. Each of
these key fundamental elements helps lay the groundwork for
success in reading in the future. Early literacy programs can
also be found at local libraries as a way for parents to engage
their children even if they are not enrolled in a preschool
program.
Technology is something our children must learn
and understand to succeed today. But it is important for
technology in the classroom to be used properly and
not abused. Early childhood educators are combining
technologies with other types of play and hands-on activities
to get the most out of the tools available to them. Such tools
allow for young learners to work cooperatively on learning
activities with the use of technology to enhance their lessons.
ECSEL focuses on teaching children how to understand
and manage emotions to become more confident, resilient,
and understanding, which are all critical to the success of
a young learner. Laying the foundation to build an early
understanding of feelings and emotions allows children to
better recognize emotions in others and how to cope with
them. These valuable life skills add a tremendous amount of
value to a young child’s understanding of healthy relationships
with his/her peers. ■
