Within the Walls of Childcare

I have created a Facebook page called Within the Walls of Childcare (Like My Page). You can find great information about the care of children on the page. Later it will become a business that will begin by educating ECE teachers. I will become a, Approved ECE Trainer within the state of Georgia. As an owner of this business I will be an advocate for children by training and inspiring teachers to care for children with the quality of care they deserve.

 

The Association for Early Learning Leaders is a non-profit organization that promotes leadership development and quality ECE programs. It is a member based organization. It also has online training courses including CDA training courses. It also has an accreditation program that measures the standard of care for centers (Association for Early Learning Leaders, n.d.). I chose this organization because it centers around developing teachers and the ECE centers. A lot of centers need improvement in the classroom.

 

The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is an organization that helps promote quality education for children eight and below. The organization promotes ECE practices, policies, and research. They have prepared systems that helps with professional development. They offer accreditation that will ensure a high standard of care. NAEYC is very influential to the ECE legislation in government. Plus, they hold yearly events where educators and national experts teach other ECE educators about the latest research and techniques with children. I chose this organization because it is the number one organization in the nation that ECE educators trust and depend on for information (About NAEYC, n.d.).
 

Job opportunities (currently available or not) that interest you I have applied to a handful of director positions and have went on one interview. It is in Acworth, Ga at Favorite Time Academy. I was very impressed with the center and the story behind why she built it. She usually does three interviews in all so I am eagerly waiting another call from the owner. She requires that the director at least has an associate’s degree. The potential director has to be knowledgeable of the rules and regulations of the state also NAEYC accreditation. She wants someone that will treat her business like their own and like a ministry. (Job no longer listed on Indeed.)
