Putting a stronger focus on educational aspects
Recommendations of the Network of Childhood Education Programs in Saxony for the resumption of daycare operations.
On May 9, the Network of Childhood Education Study Programs in Saxony published recommendations for the resumption of operations in daycare facilities from a pedagogical and developmental psychological perspective. The recommendations are aimed at the responsible ministries of the Free State of Saxony, public and independent youth welfare organizations as well as political representatives and the professional public. The occasion is the resumption of restricted regular operations in daycare facilities on May 18, 2020.
The transition of daycare facilities to restricted regular operation is an important step for parents and children, but is a challenge for both the children and the educational professionals. Prof. Dr. phil. habil. Andrea G. Eckhardt
”The (re)opening of child care homes and child care centers is currently heavily influenced by health and hygiene regulations. However, in addition to these health and hygiene aspects, developmental psychology and educational considerations must also be taken into account. Representatives of childhood education programs and programs with a focus on elementary education in Saxony are now offering their recommendations on the gradual reopening of childcare centers from a professional perspective.
The focus is on pedagogical and developmental-psychological challenges, as well as pedagogical approaches to shaping this process. The recommendations address three areas:
- education, care, and upbringing;
- the protection and recognition of early childhood educators; and
- the use of digital media in educational work.
