Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: National/Federal Level

The first organization I choose was the National Association of Child Care Professionals (NACCP).  I choose this group because as a director I am always looking for ways to build up the skills of my employees who are devoted to early child care and education.  This organization's goal is to improve, enhance and strengthen the credibility of the people who lead the child care industry by providing membership services and benefits.  They also provide on-line training that you can have staff sign up for and continue the process of professional development.  I firmly believe the better trained the staff is the better environment for the children and families you serve. 

The second organization I choose was the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC).  I like this because you can come here and get connected with other providers in the family child care field. 

The last organization is the United Way it envisions a world where all individuals and families achieve their human potential through education, income stability and healthy lives.  The United way set up the following goals in 2008. 
United Way initiated a 10-year program designed to achieve the following goals by 2018:
  • Improve education, and cut the number of high school dropouts — 1.2 million students, every year — in half.
  • Help people achieve financial stability, and get 1.9 million working families — half the number of lower-income families who are financially unstable — on the road to economic independence.
  • Promote healthy lives, and increase by one-third the number of youth and adults who are healthy and avoid risky behaviors.
They had a variety of employment opportunities worldwide that they were looking to fill.
