Sharing Web Resources
In my search the e-newsletter that I discovered is the International Journal of Child Care and Education Policy, at http://14.36.32.123/upload/bbs_journal/4%20Andrews_USA.pdf from that site I was able to find the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA) journals which gave me a multitude of leads of the trends and issues that are affecting the children in our country and that I am currently studying. The sites also lead me to the Child Care Awareness of America National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies. At this site I was able to find 12 more journals that will support centers to become excellent in early care programming. What interested me was the fact sheets that are useful for administrators, legislators, and advocates to help strengthen child care programs and reduce the gap that exist in our society.
The web sites are excellent resources to enhance my studies in early childhood programs. As the Education Director of my center the wealth of information is preparing me to up grade our center and encouraging me to continue searching for a better tomorrow for all children. Some much information is at our fingertips that it somewhat overwhelming however, I found if I focus on the issues in which I need information I will be well informed. Keeping the main site in my resource file will give me the opportunity to refer back to when needed.
