Preschool in Three Cultures Revisited: China, Japan, and the United States is quite literally a revisited outlook among a study of cross-cultural schools.

The center I have worked at for 20 years is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). I have learned what NAEYC stands for and what we need to do, as early childhood educators to give the children the best possible care and early education.
