Answers to the question posed in the title can be generated by asking others. One way is to ask where we are going if we continue to do what we are now doing. Another way is to ask where we want early childhood education to go. And related to this is the question of where we hope it is not going. Or, with crystal ball in hand we might try the title question itself: Where is early childhood education going? It is difficult to separate these lines of questioning; what we wish to achieve is certainly related to what we wish to avoid; and where we are going is to some extent related to what we are now doing. In this concluding article I shall try each of these ways of approaching the question. My answers are speculations based on selective judgments as to what issues are important; the judgments are based in turn on several years of cross-country travel in early childhood programs and on my observations from the unique vantage point of the ERIC Clearinghouse on Early Childhood Education
