Three organizations
that appeal to me are (1) Zero to Three , (2) P.A.C.E. and the N.A.E.Y.C. The Zero to Three is an
organization that provides a wealth of information on early childhood issues.
ZERO
TO THREE is a national, nonprofit organization that provides parents,
professionals and policymakers the knowledge and know-how to nurture early
development. Nutrition plays a very big role in in the health and development
of children especially as it relates to brain development and early childhood. ‘Zero
to Three’ provides interested persons in early childhood to help in advocacy.
The organization did not provide direct information about the job opportunities
and skills that are needed but much of their work is grounded on research and
experience; multidisciplinary; collaboration; cultural responsiveness;
clinically informed and accessible.
The second organization
P.A.C.E is very close to me because I have experienced first- hand the work
that this organization has been doing in many early childhood institutions in
Jamaica. The organization supports early childhood through different ventures
such as (1) providing school supplies; (2) training of early childhood
practitioners; (3) other special initiatives. You can donate your resources or
volunteer your professional skills such as helping with parenting and
practitioners work- shops.
The third organization
the N.A.E.Y.C. is a very resourceful organization that provides even smaller
communities of practice with information to assist in early childhood
practices. N.A.E.Y.C. promotes getting involved in early childhood through their
websites. They carry out many seminars for training and provide the most up to
date research on early childhood. Various professional positions are also
available on their websites such as leadership.
