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.
