Some of the outside links that I have read lead to the talk about how quality early childhood education and care is crucial in the well-being and overall development of a child and can offer the best start especially for children with disadvantage to realize their individual potential (Budapest, 2011, p3). It also goes to talk about the negative and the positive experiences that can impact children on their path to success.

As I searched the website I found something in the article about investments are being equitable in early childhood education and care and how those investments are also considered high quality in early childhood education as well.

The insight that I gained this week about the issues and trends in the early childhood field from exploring the website was how there are a number of rationales for promoting early education and care, which draw on different kinds of evidence and data sets, and which lead to different policy priorities and outcomes. Although some countries have been able to combine all three rationales seamlessly, these rationales are more often than not addressed separately and in an uncoordinated way (Budapest, 2011, p.8).
