My name is Francesca Joseph. I'm 19 years old. I have been studying Early Childhood Education since 2019. It has been two years since I'm in this program. This glossary will be for who want to know more about this program. Also, it will help people improve themselves about educating children.
In this glossary, I will put 20 terms. These terms will provide from the books from my classes. They will also be provided from the knowledge I have acquired since I started this program. I will find the definition on Wikipedia.
I want you to evaluate each word and its definition on the glossary. After this, I want you to explain to me what have you learn from those words. Have these words helped you to understand more about Early Childhood Education?
