Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: National/Federal Level

The first organization I chose was NAEYCE know has “The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) it is a professional membership organization. The reason I chose this was because it works to increase the quality of education for all children from birth through age eight. Accreditation systems are the biggest part of NAEYC's efforts to improve early childhood education; they accept programs to provide the best education experiences for young children and their educators by meeting national standards of importance. Looking through for a job they said was closed. The one I would have like was the Community Manager. http://www.naeyc.org/

The second one I chose is the Head Start Program that has been one program I have thought is great ever since my son went there. It works on making sure that children from low-income families are prepared for school and in life. .  Head Start and Early Head Start programs support the mental, social, and emotional development of children from birth to age 5. I would love to have a teaching position at Head Start and the requirements are Early Childhood Associate Degree, Early Childhood B.A./B.S. or a Bachelor’s or advanced degree and coursework equivalent to a major relating to Early Childhood.

The third one I chose is from Every Child Matters and the reason for this is because it has so many programs going that is focus on children, their families, and education. They want to make sure the government puts children and their families first. They want to make change so every child has the things they need in life and the part I think is important is to make sure that every child has a safe environment in their home, school and neighborhood. They are committed to preventing child abuse, ending deaths due to abuse and neglect, and to reducing gun violence.I would love to work for them but I could not find any job listings or available.

  1. Hi Mary,
    I enjoyed reading your blog you chose some good programs. I like Head start program because they always put children first to help and motivate children to succeed. However, we need more Headstart program because this program is for all families no matter what their social economic is.

  2. Mary,

    NAEYC and Headstart are two great organizations, and I am very proud to be a member of the Headstart family. The third organization I never heard of it, but it sounds like it helps a lot of people as well.

  4. Mary,
    I honestly had never heard of Every Child Matters before, or perhaps I never gave it much of a look. As child abuse and neglect are still issues that plague our country, I am always glad to find new resources that provide professionals AND families with resources to understand what abuse is, why it happens, and what is being done to stop it. Thanks for sharing!
