Early Childhood Education is the practice of educating younger children. It inhabits much of our government economy. Many districts receive state funding for providing early childhood education.

In this case referring back to Groenke, during the great depression students were taught at the level in which they presumed to be at based on economic status and ability. In this case the idea is being altered. Resources should be given to those students who show higher level thinking capabilities that could independently change their status no matter what level they are on. However in this case, it can be concluded that socioeconomic mobility still focuses on those students that have higher advantages in life.
In early childhood education this focus is not there. Today, Educators in early childhood education have a moral commitment to get rid of any pre-conceived notions about the child before actually dealing with the child. In early education this is easier to being as most of the students have a smaller foundation of knowledge. They are in the stage where guidance and support is critical in expanding their schema. The recovery as mentioned before has helped educators maintain this moral commitment
