I like the way in which you displayed the resource links. I also enjoyed your link to Head Start. I think that Head Start is essential for young children. Head Start does so many things for young children and their families that go unnoticed until you are working there. I learned so much from working with the professionals and children there. I am an advocate for Head Start and have helped many families to complete their paperwork to ensure that their children will get to be a part of the Head Start experience.

I viewed the website links you posted and I was particularly interested in the Head Start Organization. Not being familiar with Head Start in my country I was really in interested in the information that was available on the page. I liked that they provided information on a number of topics such as effective practices, data, research, policy and the like. Thanks for the link
ReplyDeleteThe website for the National Association for Family Childcare was very interesting for me to view. I think it is so important for there to be high standards for in home childcare, and this website is a great way to keep up with everything going on in that world. I also just viewed Education World for the first time in another classmate's blog-post. It is truly a wonderful resource. Thanks!
