I live in a community where there
are some amazing early childhood organizations and centers. The first
organization I researched is Alliance for Kids. Alliance for Kids addresses
several areas of early learning including family support, parent education, health
and mental health. The organization brings together various agencies and work
collaboratively to provide quality care for children and families (Alliance for
Kids, 2013).
Alliance for Kids allows various
organizations, in our community, to post jobs within the early childhood field.
Currently, there are two positions posted. The job opportunities posted on
their website are for early childhood educators. The requirements include
meeting state requirements for teacher, a high school diploma and some college;
however, a bachelor’s degree is preferred.
The second organization I
researched is the Early Childhood Education Association of Colorado. This
organization is a non-profit focused on providing support and guidance to
child-care centers. Their goal is to promote growth, sustainability and quality
within licensed private early childhood programs (Early Childhood Education
Association of Colorado, 2013). They partner with jobing.com to provide a list
of employment opportunities throughout the state of Colorado. Job seekers are
able to post their resume and search jobs for free.
Finally, the Community Partnership
for Child Development provides 1900 children living poverty or difficult
circumstances with early childhood education with the help of Head Start, Early
Heat Start and the Colorado Preschool Program. Not only do they provide
educational services but dental, health and family support services as well
(Community Partnership for Child Development, 2013). Currently, they have
several openings including outreach coordinator, child-care provider and
education assistant. The position I would be most interested in would be child-care
provider. The requirements include past child-care
experience and at least 16 years of age.
I am interested in these
organizations because of their commitment to the early childhood field. They
provide families with resources as well as provide quality care. As I begin my
capstone project I will use these resources to help me.
