NAEYC
NAEYC has been involved in my work since I started working
with young children, their goals and mission have guided my career to a level
of excellence. I have a firsthand
account of how the criteria and standards that NAEYC upholds improves the daily
quality of young people in my different programs.
ZERO TO THREE
Zero to Three organization has many facets of training and
education. The goal of Zero to Three is
to educate families and caregivers on early care practices of all children
birth to age three. The Zero to Three work in child abuse and neglect
prevention training and awareness is very important to my work. It has given me many strategies and
techniques to help identify early warning signs of abuse and to get families
help and education to care for their young children.
HEADSTART
Headstart is a national nonprofit organization that provides
quality educational and health services to more than one million children nationwide. To be able to provide quality education to
all child regardless of circumstance would allow for me to use my education to
give back to our community. Reaching
children that may never have the means to seek a better education without
programming like this inspires me to educate families of all resources.
