Research Around the World

Some of the current international research topics are “The Development of an Integrated Early Childhood Development Urban Model Training Program for Informal Minders and Community Volunteers in Ghana. This model is “an integrated early childhood development (IECD) urban model training program for informal child minders (IMs) and community volunteers (CVs) working in daycare centers in Ghana is developed based on an integrated approach towards the holistic development of the child.

My international contact is The International Step by Step Association (ISSA). My contact in the organization has been kind enough to invite me to be a member. I have accepted. The insights and information I have gained have helped me to see all countries have the same issues concerning early childhood education, if not far greater, just as we do in the United States.

The Principles serve as a basis for professional discussion, building and expanding partnerships, improving practices, and bringing change into the lives of young children in the countri...
