Please note that this map is a work in progress
and is constantly being updated.
To access the early childhood demographics and practices of a country, either
click on the country of your choice on the map (to zoom in for smaller countries,
click on the appropriate continent name below the map), or select the country
from the drop down menu. The content has been entered by the World Forum Global
Leaders for Young Children and the World Forum National Representatives under
the sponsorship of Knowledge Learning Corporation, IBM Global Work/Life Fund,
and Community Playthings.
Mission Windows on the World is an Internet-based database providing
information on child demographics and early childhood policies and practices in
over 100 nations of the world. Data on nations is continually being added and updated.
History At the 2006 meeting of the Global Leaders for Young Children in Reggio
Emelia Italy, the Global Leaders proposed the idea of having an online database where
early childhood educators could go to learn about early childhood conditions and practices
in all nations of the world. Later that year, funding by the IBM Global Work/Life Fund
and Knowledge Learning Corporation enabled the World Forum Foundation to create this
web feature and its supporting database. Currently Global Leaders and World Forum National
Representatives are entering data about early childhood policies and practices in their
countries.
Organizations interested in sponsoring the photo tour, or individuals interested
in contributing country profiles should direct inquiries to
