ZERO to THREE
This is a national non-profit organization that inform, trains, and supports professionals, policymakers, and parents in their efforts to improve the lives of infants and toddlers. Their mission is to promote the health and development of infants and toddlers. I was drawn to this site because we used it earlier in this program and it provided such great resources and articles dealing with children's development and I found it to be very useful.
This site provides journals, and baby brain map that shows how early care enriches development, webinars/conferences, and various downloads. There were job openings available, but none that truly interested me, however this would be an organization that I would enjoy being a part of.

NATIONAL CHILD CARE ASSOCIATION "Linking Hearts-Growing Minds"
There mission is to promote the growth and safe guard the interest of quality early childhood care and education focusing on licensed, private providers of these services. This organization provides training, webinars/online hours, an E-Magazine, and other resources such as public policy and advocacy. I was drawn to this because it focuses on the quality of early childhood care and education. All children deserve a high quality education and the same opportunities to receive it. I didn't see any job listing.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THE CHILD CARE RESOURCE AND REFERRAL AGENCIES
There mission is to promote national policies and partnerships to advance the development and learning of all children and to provide vision, leadership, and support to community child care resources and referral. I recall using this site earlier in this program, so I thought I would review it again. They provide conferences, publications, child care resources, programs and services such as training, and public policy. This is a great organization, but there were no job opportunities available I was interested in at this time. This would however, be something I would look into in the future.

Britanie,
ReplyDeleteI love your resources. Zero to Three is one I've referred to many times. It's good for professionals and parents. The National Child Care Association is new to me so I look forward to investigating what is on it.
Great post, Britanie. I really enjoy having the opportunity to read all of our insights on who should be in our early childhood community from local all the way through the national level.
ReplyDeleteBritanie,
ReplyDeleteI loved the resources you chose. They are 3 great programs.
National Association Of The Child Care Resources and Referral Agencies is especially beneficial because we learned early on in this program that is cost effective to invest in early childhood. More importantly, it is in the best interest of the child and their family.
Britanie,
ReplyDeleteThe resources you posted were great. I will be able to take advantage of these resources for the twos and threes in my center. We try to identify any and all of their challenges early.
Britanie,
ReplyDeleteThe link and resources that you posted to your blog were very helpful and informative. I believe that I can use these links in my capstone project as well as my current career. I know that the parents and families could use these resources as a guide for helping them to become their child's first advocate.
