We have discussed the characteristics of the early childhood workforce, opportunities in early childhood education, and early childhood professional development systems. Now, let’s focus on:

For your initial post, address the following:
- What is “babysitting”?
- Why are early child care educators professional?
- What do we need to do to increase the professionalism of the early childhood field?
