Exploring Roles in the ECE Community: Local and State Levels

The local and state organizations of interest that appeals to me are The New Jersey Parent and Information Resource Center (NJPIRC), Early Intervention System (NJEIS), and Statewide Parent Advocacy Network, Inc. I chose them because there focus is on helping parents and children. 

For example, The New Jersey Parent and Information Resource Center (NJPIRC) focuses on “strengthen parenting skills & parental understanding of how to support education in the home by increasing the availability of parent training, information, & support programs in NJ, particularly in the Abbott or other high needs districts.” The statewide advocacy network creates relationships between families who are going through the same challenges. They match families with similar experiences. Early Intervention System (NJEIS) ensures that services are provided to infants and toddlers, from birth to three years of age. The services help families with children who have developmental delays and disabilities.

 I would like to acquire a job with agencies that focus on early childhood. The skill I will need to have involves understanding a child’s development and the ability to work together with individuals that practice community of practice.  We all must work together to establish relationships with families and their children, it is the only way we can make an impact for generations to come.
