War on Poverty
o Choose at least two events from the timeline that you feel have had the greatest impact on early childhood education: the Kindergarten Movement, Founding of the National Association for the Education of Young (NAEYC), Sputnik, and so forth.
The events I choose for this discussion are going to be the Nursery School Movement and War on Poverty/Project Head Start.
o Briefly summarize each event in your own words.
The Nursery School Movement was a movement founded by two American sisters in England. They began visiting the homes of the poor which ultimately led them to want to help these disadvantage children. They began to see a pattern of health and education problems among these children. These sisters opened the “Open-Air Nursery School and Training Centre” which served children from ages 18 months thru 7 years old. They helped children with educationally and with health needs at this school. They recognized that children were behind on their education in the more formative years and came up with program to help the disadvantaged children. The open-air style was to help with the common sicknesses of that time period and was meant to be model school/training center for other teachers and centers.
The War on Poverty/Project Head Start was started in 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. The presidents team developed a program that would meet the needs of the disadvantaged preschool children. This program was named Head Start and Head Start was designed to help break the cycle of poverty, by providing children of low-income households with help, support, and resources to help meet their emotional, social, health, nutritional, and psychological needs. An important component of this program was that it be appreciative to the communities it served. I work for Head Start as teacher and I can personally vouch for the importance of these programs. We not only educate and look out for the children’s well-being, we also give a tremendous amount of support to the children’s families.
