teacher education and school administration. Despite the different areas of diversities,
they are united with one goal, that is, providing quality education for the benefit of
children that meet their developmental needs. The Chinese concept of “He” or
Harmony is instrumental in understanding “unity in diversity”. Harmony presupposes
the existence of differences. Early childhood education in the Asian Pacific regions
can be different and yet harmonious. By sharing latest research and teaching experience
among early childhood professionals in an international platform such as
PECERA, they can be united by vigorously proven theories and the most effective
pedagogies, and it is achieved in a supportive environment.
