Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources

Part One:

I have attempted to reach out to two Early Childhood contacts outside the US.  One of the contacts is in Veracruz, Mexico and the other contact is in London, England.  I have not received a response as of yet, but I feel confident that these contacts will follow up with me.  Both contacts are people that I have met through associates of the Children's Courtyard.   I can't wait to hear from them!


Part Two:

I have chosen NACCP (The National Association of Child Care Professions) as my early childhood organization that supports the early childhood community and the resources it offers.   I have chosen this organization because I am not only a member of this organization, I am also a validator for this organization!  The mission states:  NACCP is committed to strengthen the skills of owners, directors, administrators, emerging leaders and other professionals who are dedicated to early care and education (NACCP, 2012).  My school is accredited through NAC, the accreditation process that stands firm on doing what's best for the "whole" child. 
NACCP is the nation's leader among associations serving child care owners, directors, and administrators. The organization's goal is to improve, enhance and strengthen the credibility of the people who lead the child care industry by providing membership services and benefits.
