Exploring Roles in the ECE Community


There were a few state and local early childhood organizations or communities of practice that I researched because of how they appealed to me. Since I have a passion for the well-being and education of young children, any cause that encourages and assists this sparks my high interest.

Early Childhood Ohio is an organization that promotes school readiness in the children of Ohio. They have a passion to help children achieve to their potential. This organization is so big that it is interconnected with other organizations, such as the Ohio Department of Education or the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. The Ohio Department of Education handles state standards and other educational matters. Ohio Department of Job and Family Services deals with families and services offered to them to assist them in living.  In order to fulfill the roles here, I would have to have experiences with children, connections with different resources, and supports for children and their families.
