CE101: Introduction to Early Childhood Education
INTRODUCTION AND CAREER GOAL
- My Name is Dilva Rocha. Ever since I was a young kid I always wanted to be an advocate and a tutor for young children. For this reason, I enrolled for an early childhood education course at our college. The class “quality care early intervention and law”’ is an important class in understanding how to take care of the young children and the legal aspects that protects the kids. This information is very useful in my career as a child advocate since it makes me understand the legal technicalities.
Child advocacy- the political or legislative lobbying to safeguard the rights of children.

Parents have a major role in determining whether a child should be enrolled for early intervention. Parents should openly share any concerns about their young child with a doctor.

Laws that apply to improve care in early childhood settings
Early Intervention Services
What this means to early childhood providers
Early interventions are greatly helpful in the development of a child. These interventions allow children with special needs to be enrolled in a system that trains them to acquire skills typical of their normal counterparts. To ensure that young children get quality care, states and the federal government have in place framework for regulating child care learning centers. To open a child care center, one needs a certification form fro the state authorities. From the class unit we studies, I have come to appreciate the role early intervention services.
