Ayonie,
ReplyDeleteI also opted for Early Childhood Australia. It was nice to see that you included important information about the plethora of topics they have that I didn't include in my post. I think the magazine and the newsletters are remarkable features that upkeep the authority of this organization. I also liked their seductive way of enrolling new people by saying it was tax deductible ;)
I enjoyed your post. It was interesting reading about strategies for embracing spirituality in programs activities for promoting spirituality with children. I like the concept of placing importance on nurturing children's spiritual development and how it strengthens understanding and interaction with their own life, the lives of others and fostering social justice.
