~RESOURCES PART 2~
I'm researching The Candian Association for Young Children. They have a Canadian Children's Journal and e-newsletter. The Canadian Children's Journal is published twice yearly. The e-newswletter is very supportative of parents as well others. CAYC was granted its Federal Charter in 1974. According to them they influece the direction and quality of policies and programs that affects the development and well being of young children in Canada. They also promote and provide opportunties for professional development for those chared with the care and education of young children.
They have a National Conference October 19 and 20,2012 entitled Wmbracing Complexity in Daily Life of the School: The Learning Process Through Observation, Interpretation and Documentation. I would love to go just to see how things are ran in Canada and to see if the United States conferences are different. I'm sure it would be an success. They also have e-newsletters which you can read online or contact Elizabeth Ashton for more information. Their intentions of the e-newsletters is to inform parents and readers about current news and events. The e-newsletter has so many articles for parents and others to help better understand what's going on in the centers as well as what they will provide in the centers.

The name of the organziation I chose is the National Head Start Association. This organization offers a wide variety of services to its members as well as to the Head Start and Early Childhood communties.
The National Head Start Association is known as NHSA. NHSa maintains a close relationship with leading independent reseachers in the field of early childhood education. Head Start promotes a strong vision statement that I admire! Their vision caught my eye because it stated "to be the untiring voice that will not be quiet until every vulnerable child is served with the Head Start model of support for the child, their families and the community. They also advocate to work diligently for policy and institutional changes that will ensure all vulnerable children and their families to have what they need to succeed.
With this being said I love their statement!!! Poverty is all over the world and to me this statement allows as well as assures families their child/children will be taken care of as well as succeed.
In conclusion, I truly enjoyed this website. I will definitely be using it again.
