Exploring Roles in the ECE Community: State and Local Levels
when I think about how far I have come I never thought in my wildest dream that I would have made it this for in owning my own day care center and working at Head Start as a teacher. The three organizations Smart Beginnings, Head Start, and NAEYC because all three have one thing in common is to educate families by helping families become self sufficient in society, improve the quality and care of early childhood educational programs.
According to "Economic research shows that investments in children age 5 and under improve school readiness and decrease young teen pregnancy, delinquency, substance abuse, and welfare dependency (Voices for America's Children, 2010)."
As a Head Start teacher and business owner of my own center I am currently full filling my dream and helping mentoring young woman to know that knowledge is power and the key to success is education. I would like to continue working at Head Start and hoping one day to becoming an Educational Specialsit. Education is a field that is growing and have a need for qualified, educated, and a passion to teach to make a difference in young lives.

Denice,
ReplyDeleteYour plate is certainly full. Congratulations on all that you have been able to accomplish. I too chose SmartBeginnings as an organization of interest. I am very interested in quality care for Infants and Toddlers and what a significant role ECE can play.
Denice,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you have gone from being a Head Start teacher to an owner of your own establishment, what an accomplishment! I love NAEYC and think that this is a learning community that provides great resources for professionals and families. I agree that it is through passion that real changes in the lives of children will occur.
Denice,
ReplyDeleteIt really inspires me to read that you are living your dream and loving the work you do with children and families. As an Education Manager in Head Start I can encourage you that your desire to be an Education Specialist is a worthwhile cause. It is worthwhile work and it makes a difference in the lives of teachers so that they can better support the children and families in their classroom. It sounds like you are on the path as an agent of positive social change!
