7 年Much of this happens when there is a lack of education, supervision and the use of ECE developmentally appropriate practices are taught used and followed. The only way to really correct these issues is to have well-developed, well trained directors who understand not only child development, but how to train and support staff in working with families to improve the lives of childen. ECE is not created by happenstance, but by people who know and follow industry standards for the creation of proper ECE environments.
