Sharing Web Resources: The Dawn of a New Era: Investing in Early Childhood Helps America Recover and Grow


In my current profession I want to learn more about: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan that provides very important opportunities to help the United States get back to creating new jobs and supporting programs which provide essential services to young children and their families, while contributing to the economy of the country (Lombardi, 2009).

 A New Era calls for action on key principles by supporting common standards across early childhood programs. The Dawn of a New Era recognizes that low income children need more intensive and comprehensive services that should start early to prevent children from achieving their potential. They give support for teaching staff and reach out to parents as a central part of early childhood services. It aims to meet the needs of working families and connects health services to early childhood programs (Lombardi, 2009).

Now, is the time to invest in creating better early childhood jobs, improved standards and monitoring, more coordinated data systems, to improved facilities for all children. The Era endorse levels of government and funding streams, These actions should be put into place with input from a wide range of stakeholders. The Dawn of a New Era Investments, are shaped to the needs of children and families most affected by the economic delay, in ways that provide long term and maintains contact as needed (Lombardi, 2009).

 This research confirms to have high quality programs, that start early and continues through school access and has a major impact on inclusive child development and learning. Along with investments in other services, more than 1000 high quality programs serves children birth to age five and this is developed across the county (Lombardi, 2009).
