Sharing Resources

One of the websites I chose prescribed to was:
Zero To Three: National Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families http://www.zerotothree.org/

ZERO TO THREE is a national, nonprofit organization that informs, 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 particularly appreciate the new distribution of their newsletter written is Spanish.  It is so necessary to have capabilities to share in multiple languages so that information can be received by all. 

The other website I chose to prescribe to was:
National Black Child Development Institute http://nbcdi.org/
I chose this website because it focuses on initiatives and programs that benefit families in low socio-economic areas and because I am an advocate for children in low-income areas, this website has been a very good source of information.

When I read the newsletter this week, I was excited to see that T.E.A.C.H. DC has received funding for Early Childhood Teachers to receive scholarships to continue their education.  I am so thankful for this program because this is how I funded my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education and I helped my employees receive scholarships as well for their education.  I am happy to see that so many more people who probably wouldn't be able to afford to go to school will also benefit from this program.

I am also excited to see that other countries are taking the field of Early Childhood Education more seriously.  Dr. DeHaney joined hundreds of early childhood educators, as well as the Governor and First Lady of American Samoa, as the keynote speaker at their first-ever Early Childhood Education (ECE) Summit.  What an exciting time in the field.
