MS Early Childhood Association
This organization is for early educators of children from birth through third grade. This organization shares the same passion I do for early education. This organization is about achieving high quality learning environments for children. They are fighting for funding streams for early care programs so that families with low-income can have a quality education also. This is what I believe in and I fully support this organization.
The Southern Early Childhood Association
This organization is committed to improving the quality of education and care for families. They share ideas on local, state, and regional levels. I am a southerner who believes in equal and quality education for all students. This organization stands out because of the work they have done for almost 70 years.
Child Care Technical Assistance
This is an organization that has launched a website that lets educators, families, and communities come together to collaborate share their passions in early childhood education. This organization makes available lots of data and information on early care and quality education. It is basically there to assist. Technology is up and rising and there is always room for growth in education.

Katrina,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the organizations you wish to learn more about in early childhood education. The first one you mentioned, MS Early Childhood Association is one that piqued my interest because of its focus on families of low income.
Early in my studies I joined NAEYC which also made me a member of the Southern Early Childhood Association. The publications that I receive have helped to keep me abreast of current issues in the area of early childhood. I have passed the journals on to staff members in our resource room so that they can read about topics that interest them as well.
It appears you have many options to chose from when looking for career options. How do you search for these options or do you have direct links to the organizations hiring?

Why I liked this one was because of the focus on technology. Thank you for sharing all the information!
