Early Childhood Organizations

My new letter from Jasmine Smith of usa.childcareaware.org has state to state information about the Early Childhood Care, new child care learning centers, child care requirements reviewed following child’s death, impact of the economy on child care, state cuts to Head Start mean fewer child care options, jobs, figures show struggle worsening for single mothers, preschool programs, children issues and disaster. As an Early Childhood professional I must continue to pursue my passion and stay informed about the trends and issues of my field. I’m grateful for professional that share information which matter most, and for that I say thank you.

I love the vison and mission statement of these web sites, and I have asked for newletters, and child related articles in  Early Childhood. The information was a little accessible for free, but not all site were free for you to join and some I am already a member. My concern about learning about the international Early Childhood field could be negative or positive, because we know we are trying to change and better the Early Childhood field, as well as the world. We all have a long way to go and I believe it will continue to develop throughout the years to come.  Do you think international Early Childhood field wil be behind or advanced? What if anything can you do about it? Let's began with sharing what works in the field of Early Childhood.

"MY SUPPORT"

“MY SUPPORTS”

            My family is one of my greatest supporters, they allow for me to go forward out of state in my field Of Early Childhood, and work for the Navy. Sometimes it is very difficult for me to be away from my husband, children, and grandchildren. I find myself crying and praying more each and every day, and because I work for the military I can understand what it’s like for soldiers to be without their families when they deploy. I thanks God for the support of my mother, and siblings, which are in other states, but they call me once a week and we connect a lot on Facebook. I must mention the wonderful support I receive from my staff also, my clerk who maintain the records of our families, the two leads on the floor who always inform me of issues, and I can’t for my awesome teachers, and professor who have supported my ideas as well as dreams. These folks have encouraged me to go forward in the thing that I have desired, and dream about.

To think about what it would be without the support I receive from my family, is really unthinkable, I don’t believe I would have made it. Support without my staff, I would not have the great program we have now, I would flop. Without my God I would have die a long time ago, because I have had support all of my life. This really makes me think about all the families that need great individuals in their life for support, if it was not for high quality educational and recreational programs for children and youth where would they be? I realize no one person can do with some support, it could be encouraging words to get you through High school, it could be someone helping you up the stairs because your legs don’t work they why they use to, or it could be someone showing you how to cope with the issues you may be facing, but we all need some type of support from others.  I leave you with these encouraging words as a mother from the Bible; PSALM 27:3, 5 but thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifer up of my head. HABAKKUK 3: 19 for the joy of the Lord is your strength. As a mother I can only pray I have supported my children in the things that make them enjoy life, as I have had support. We can make a difference together, so let support each other.  “We must be the change we want to see.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“They can because they think they can.”

MY CHILDHOOD CONNECTIONS TO PLAY

           MY CHILDHOOD CONNECTION TO PLAY

As children growing up in the city of Detroit, Michigan I believe we had a great childhood, books to read, play cooking toys, and a guessing box full of small items. I and my sisters would play for hours; we would pretend to read to each other’s by looking at the pictures in a book. We would cook for our husband and children, I had eight, she had six children, and we had our own business (store) our families owned. I can’t remember all of my children names but each one of them had one, and I and my sister had a great time pretending.  Our feely box was magical, because everything we pulled out of it could talk, and told us a story.

Play energizes us and enlivens us. It eases our burdens. It renews our natural sense of optimism and opens us up to new possibilities.

Play is our brain's favorite way of learning.
