Community
The first state organization I chose is PennAEYC. PennAEYC is the voice of early childhood in
Pennsylvania. PennAEYC is a State Affiliate of the National Association for the
Education of Young Children (NAEYC). PennAEYC represents all NAEYC members in
Pennsylvania, (which I am a member of) including those in local affiliate
groups as well as those unaffiliated with any local affiliate. I chose them because they offer professional
development, advocacy support, networking, leadership, and other opportunities
for early childhood professionals like myself. They build, participate, collaborate
and connect across the state level. I have used them in providing networking. PennAEYC's
vision is that every child in Pennsylvania has the equal opportunity to be a
successful, responsible, and productive members of society as a result of their
early childhood experiences which is something I totally agree with. There are
currently no job opportunities available.
The second organization is the Delaware Valley
Association for the Education of Young Children (DVAEYC). They focus on
empowering early childhood educators in the Delaware Valley with vast
resources, support and motivation. So every child from birth to age 8, may
receive the best care and education possible. Since our child’s future depends
on us. I too am committed to creating a path that allows them, and their
teachers, to reach their full potential. As a director and leader I am very
much interested in their Leadership Empowerment Action Project (LEAP). They
also offer assistance with career advising, professional development and
Keystone Stars which my agency is a part of. There are currently no job
opportunities available for me.
The third organization I chose is PACCA. The
Pennsylvania Child Care Association (PACCA) is a statewide non-profit
organization. PACCA exists to be a strong
and effective advocate for quality early care and education programs which is
of great importance to me. I like the fact that they strive to give leadership
and support to those organizations that assist the Early Childhood Education
community, families, and children. I am a firm believer and advocate for early
childhood education. My entire staff and I are members of PACCA. I like the
information that is available if you want to start your own childcare center.
In addition they have a great deal of resource information for parents. They
can assist you in finding quality child care. There are no employment
opportunities available that would interest me.
