Sharing Web Resources
The newsletter that I found resourceful is the, National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies, they have been operating since 1987. The agency’s vision is “A nation that supports the development and learning of all children” (Childcare awareness of America, pg. 2, 2014) and their mission is “To promote national policies and partnerships to advance the development and learning of all children and to provide vision, leadership and support to community Child Care Resource and Referral” (Childcare awareness of America, pg. 2, 2014).
This agency also provides training, promotes national guidelines and partnerships and provides information to the families (Childcare awareness of America, pg. 2, 2014).
The newsletter caught my attention on child obesity. They reported that the numbers are going down. This is a relief to me because we have been promoting physical education in our center and are training the children about healthy choices and healthy living. The site also gave more information that can help childcare providers’ insight on other issue going on in our state and globally.

Hello Sandra,
ReplyDeleteI find this organization to be very informative. We can never have enough resources in this field since it is ever changing. I have found that building a wealth of resources to reflect on refer to is very important and will make for a better child care professional.
I utilize that website at times too, but recently I have forgotten it (I don't know how) I am glad I have had this refresher...sometimes I get so caught up with new ideas that I forget...It is officially bookmarked!
ReplyDeleteI never heard of this program but it's seem to be very useful resource in helping educate Early childhood educator on how we should educate our children. I would love to know more about this organization. Thanks for sharing,
ReplyDeleteHello Sandra,
ReplyDeleteI too never heard of this program, but I admire their promotion in healthy living for young children. At our center, we encourage children and families to engage in physical activities and nutrition. Case in point, we see more children bringing in fruit, vegetables, water and 100% fruit and veggie juices for snack. With the guidance of National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies, NAEYC and other children organizations; parents, E.C.P. and the community can support children well-being.
