Bright
From the Start is out state agency that oversees and license the childcare
centers in the state of Georgia. This agency is where I research the rules and
regulations of the care for the children in my center. It is also in charge of
the Pre-Kindergarten program, which is a free program offered to four year olds
in the state of Georgia. It also provides financial assistance to families for
childcare as well as oversees the federal nutrition program. It recently launched
a rating system called Quality Rated. I often visit their website for
information needed for the care of children on the childcare center (About
Bright from the Start, n.d.).
Georgia
Association on Young Children is an organization in Georgia affiliated with NAEYC
(National Association for the Education of Young Children) that supports the education
of children ages birth to eight years old. Their mission is to help people to
become more aware of the importance of early childcare and help improve early
childhood. I chose this site because it can give me the latest news in early
childhood (GAYC, n.d.).
The
Georgia Child Care Association (GCCA) is an organization that advocate for children
by making sure parents have quality affordable childcare. Also, they communicate
with policy makers to advocate for children that effects children through law.
Lastly, they educate owners, directors, and teachers about the rules and
regulations of running a center and caring for children within the center. I
chose this organization because it has regular scheduled webinars to allowing
members to communicate back and forth about the issues of childcare (Our
Mission, n.d.).
The
most recent job search is a Director’s position in Kennesaw, Ga at Childtime Learning
Centers. They are requiring a committed person who wants to make a difference
in the lives of children and able to run a school. The director must be at
least 21 years old and a degree with childcare experience, obtained a 40 hour
director training course, CPR/First Aid Certified, and has been a director for at least five
years. I am qualified except for five year as a director. I had to be a
director to become a director. I keep hitting that snag and I am about sick of
that. I know I can run a center. I am learning everything I can as an assistant
director to become a director. I just need the chance. However, it does say at
the bottom of the listing “Required experience: childcare administration: 1
year. I have two years. Which requirement are they considering (Childcare
Center Director, n.d.)?
