~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.

^^^^ POVERTY in the WORLD ^^^^

# According to CHIP- Knowledge for Tackling Childhood Poverty ~

# Children in poverty have to face many disadvantaged groups.
# Children poverty are characterised as children with special needs, streetchildren, orphans, and child 
   workers.
#According to CHIP~

# Poverty denies opportunties to people of all ages.
# Malnutrition in early childhood can also lead to life long learning difficulties and poor health.
# Poverty can also be passed on from generations to generations affecting the long term health, and well
   being as well a productivity of families and society.

**These insights mentioned are indeed the eye openers that truly caught my attention**

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.

These are the two early childhood organzations I contacted... The fisrt one is The British Assocation for Early Childhood Education http://www.early-education.org.uk/ and the second one is The Canadian Association for Young Children http://www.cayc.ca/indexjournal.html. I chose these two organizations because I felt the need that their organzations or programs could be ran different from the organizations and programs in the United States!! I would like to know how effective their organizations are and if there are any similarity between their organiztions and our organizations. I'm assuming because of the timing I submitted to both organizations I have yet gotten a response from them. I've never visited neither place nor do I know of anyone in my circle that has but; I'm very anixious to hear from something educational and interesting about both!!.. While, researching I found that the National Conference states  their program includes lectures by internationally reowned authorities on children, school visits and tours etc. They have also have an Canadian Children Journal that is published twice yearly. In British their Development Matters are non-statutory guidance to support practitioners in implementing the Early Foundation Stage which seems very similar to organizations here.

"My Support"

To me in order to support someone or something you must build a foundation first. Suppport means foundation. Being able to build a foundation it requires you to be able to hold up and to preserve. Support also means to maintain wheather it's your family, a person, the mind, spirits, courage, or establishment. I've always felt by supplying with things necessary to exitence provide for the support of a family as well.
In conclusion, support to me applies when you are backing another, as in statement, opinion, or beliefs. Also so as educators we must support our children and be there for them we they need us the most...

"Relationships and Family Partnership"

Relationships are very important to my family. Forming a relationship with the people you care and love is a special bond. The realtionship forms achievement and lays the groundwork for supporting your child. Relationships also from partnerships which includes strenghthening the family, child bond addressing diversity, and building trust. I have a special and very important relationship with my son, parents, sisters and brother. I love them all unconditionally. As adults we all go on a family vacation twice a year. All of my, sisters and their families go too. My brother and his family go as well. We are a very close net family. We eat Sunday dinner together and share what happened over our work week. We eat together as a family during the hoildays. We give thanks together all the time. By spending family time together allows me and my family to have a great and understanding partnership. My experiences with relationship/partnership would reflect my work because relationships forms achievement and supports children through their ground work. My relationships also allows me to help strengthening family, child bond, addressing diversity and building trust.
