○ Brief History of Early Learning, Pt 2 Notes
■ First time there was high quality universal childcare
■ Women went back home after the war
■ There was a baby boom and a drastic need for childcare
■ In 1961 it was decided that intelligence is not necessarily genetic
, ■ Linden B Johnson started the program “Head Start” in the summer of 1965
for ¾ year olds of low income families
■ In 1971, congress passed the Comprehensive Child Care Act
■ In 1972, President Nixon vetoed the CCCA because he felt it was too
much like Russian programs
■ Today: Education and childcare varies based on zip code
● Childcare After Covid
○ Lots of childcare facilities were unfortunately shut down, social distancing made
the day to da function of programs very difficult
○ There was a large shift in the dynamic of work environments
■ Ie. Who is working? Where are they working? Home vs in person?
● What is the purpose of ECE?
○ Think about it, poke at it…we have discussed this in great detail before!
● Discussion of this Week’s Readings
○ Reading #1: They’re Not Too Young to Talk About Race
■ If they’re seeing it, they need to be talking about it
■ Ignorance is not bliss
■ Children experience
discrimination from birth,
if we dont talk about it,
how do we help them
cope with and learn from
it?
■ At three months children
look more at the faces that
match their caregivers
(Implicit Bias)
■ Implicit vs Explicit bias
■ Children as young as two
years old will use race to
reason about people's behaviors
■ Children are trying to figure out the puzzle of the world, they use their
sight to unpack that
■ Reinforced by communities, experiences made available, race is used to
choose playmates-this peaks at ⅘ years of age
■ The graphic we read is abt 5 years old, the studies are very outdated
■ Our understanding is MUCH better now
■ Conversations can improve these issues in the span of only one week,
what an impact!
