Outreach Resources

There are several countries and childhood resource organizations that I attempted to contact. 

The listed resources that I have contacted are:
Philippines
OMEP Philippines National Committee
China – Hong Kong
OMEP National Committee for Hong Kong
Pacific Early Childhood Education Research Association
Dr. Betty Chan Po-king
20 Somerset Rd. Kowloon Tong, Kowloon
Hong Kong
Tel: 852-23396005
Email: sannas@ycef.com
Of the listed resources, I haven't heard anything back from anyone. I am actively waiting for responses to be received. The overseas research is definitely something that I would like to know more about, considering how different their programs can be from American ones.

  2. It's great that you have made many contacts. I hope they respond back soon. It would be great to hear how different their programs are ran and hopefully we can learn what they are doing that has been successful, and the challenges that they have found that are difficult.

My Connections to Play

  • "Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning." By Fred Rogers
  • “The activities that are the easiest, cheapest, and most fun to do – such as singing, playing games, reading, storytelling, and just talking and listening – are also the best for child development.” ~ Jerome Singer (professor, Yale University)
  • “As astronauts and space travelers children puzzle over the future; as dinosaurs and princesses they unearth the past. As weather reporters and restaurant workers they make sense of reality; as monsters and gremlins they make sense of the unreal.” ~ Gretchen Owocki (childhood educator)
