The
three state organizations that I chose that appealed to me are: 1. National
Associated for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), 2. Center for Early Childhood,
3. Oklahoma State Department of education. I have chosen
these three organizations, because they all support the well-being of children
and their families. Each of these organizations are reliable resources for
employment and information concerning early childhood education.
The
Guidance Center for Early Childhood
Provides services that
help empower children, adults and families to live better lives for over 50
years. The Guidance Center provides over 40 different treatments, prevention,
growths and education
services to more than 20,000 people annually.
If I were to pursuit a
job through the Guidance Center organization, I would choose to work as an
Early Head Start Teacher/full year in River Rouge Michigan. This new position
would allow me to move to another state with my family. Also the position would
be higher than the one I already have, which is my desire to continue to make a
difference and positive impact in the lives of children.
