Learning about early
childhood through the international lens has left a lasting impact on me. One
impact was learning the importance of research. Data is what helps to make
change. The lives of millions of children count on the research to assist with
change. Invest in the most excluded children now at risk a more divided and
unfair world.

Research and Reports
A second consequence is not
sitting on the sideline but getting involved. There is a shortage of
volunteers. This is true in the United States. It takes a special person to get
involved and help children without being paid. Joining agencies that work
around the world can help change children’s lives around the world. I wish I could
do more. I am humbled by this experience.
A third consequence was
learning the state of early childhood education around the world.
Millions
of children are trapped in an intergenerational cycle of disadvantage that
endangers their futures – and the future of their societies.
It
is important for early childhood professionals to work together to find ways to
enhance the lives of children around the world. We are more alike than we are
different. Research and collaboration is what it will take to make the changes
that will save lives of many families around the world and here in the United
States. I want to continue my research on the field and advocate for the right
for every child no matter their nationality or socioeconomic status to get an
education.
