Abstract/Preface

The idea of professional development in early childhood education is about teachers learning and growing throughout their entire career. Continuous Professional Development is the process of childhood educators learning new things getting more training and thinking about what they do. The main goals of professional development in early childhood education are to make teaching better help teachers know more about how to teach and make sure the children learn as much as they can when they are n young [1]. Continuous professional development, in childhood education is very important because these are the years when children start to learn and develop the most. The basis for lifetime learning, behaviour, and health is laid during the first few years of life, which is why continuous professional development is acknowledged as a key component of high-quality ECE systems worldwide [2].
