NAECTE is the organization that I explored. The outside link that I followed was the journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education. This site contains information on current issues, most read articles, most cited articles, authors and submissions in Early Childhood Teacher Education. While searching one area of the site, I found the article A Promising Strategy for Connecting Future Teachers to the Lives of Diverse Children and Their Families. This article contained information about students and families. Students, families, and teachers spent 30 hours of service learning with diverse families. They focused on family events at different schools. My understanding of equity and excellence in early care and education was broadened through this article because I recognized the value of different ways of learning and developing.
Equity also ensures that everyone can achieve within a nurturing and supportive environment. New insights that I gained are that everyone can't be treated the same and equity is not limited to a single population.

It is very important to remain abreast of current issues in early childcare. Equity in early childhood education is important because it levels the playing field. It is important that all children has similar exposure to childcare.
