Exploring
Roles in the ECE Community: Local and State Levels
Early-On
This organization is a system
designed to coordinate early intervention and other services for families who
have children (ages 0-36 months) experiencing developmental delays or who have
disabilities or special needs (www.earlychildhoodmichigan.org).
I choose this organization
because I have always felt discovery of a problem early can assist in
accomplishing goals early and opportunities to find the necessary treatment or
resources to assist a child’s daily living.
Head Start
The Head Start is a Federal
program that promotes the school readiness of children from birth to age give
from low-income families by enhancing their cognitive, social, and emotional
development. Head Start provides a learning
environment that supports children’s growth in many areas such as language,
literacy, and social and emotional development.
Head Start emphasizes the role of parents as their child’s first and most
important teacher. These programs help build
relationships with families that support family we-being and many other
important areas (michheadstart.org).
NAEYC
The National
Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is a professional membership
organized that works to promote high-quality early learning for all young children,
birth through age 8, by connecting early childhood practice, policy, and
research. The NAAEYC advance a diverse,
dynamic early childhood profession and support all who care for, educate, and
work on behalf of young children (www.naeyc.org).
I choose this organization because it centers its focus directly
those involve in the lives of our children, our future. Early in a child’s life you can find them
mimicking after older youth or adults and at that point they are developing for
their future. They take in a wealth of
information and later in life they are able to put it to work. The NAEYC validates the task of being leaders
in this society. They shoot for
excellence within our classrooms and also of each individual they support. They also have an ongoing learning
environment in which Early Childhood Educators can reach out to on a continuous
basis and get the support they need.
Out of the three organizations
I research the job opportunity I found that were of interest to me were
