Exploring Roles in the ECE Community: Local and State Levels

I like the (SECA) Southern Early Childhood Association because this association helps with the quality of education for young children in the southern states of the United States.  The organization has books that you purchase so you can build your resource library.  You can use this website to find articles to research subjects that you may need.

I also like the Hillary Rodham Clinton Children's Library in Little Rock, Arkansas.  You can have field trips and they will sen puppet shows to your center free of charge.  This library has a reach program for school age students where you can check out a lab top to help with your homework. There are Early Childhood lab tops to check out with programs just for preschoolers on them.  There are a list of resources for parents in this library and they serve lunch and dinner for the community.

I like the (TAPP) Traveling Arkansas Professional Development Registary. This is a professional development websites were Early Childhood Staff members can get information on different classes that arrange from CPR to Positive Discipline Training.  You can get your CDA or renew it and get CEU from a local university.

There are a few jobs that I am interested in  like a Family Service Worker Specialist with the Department of Human Services that I can use my degree with.  This job is help with the foster child services.  A Program Eligibility Specialist with the Department of Human Services helps with the mainatin evaluation and assistance with daycare services.

With these jobs you have to be able to direct staff and have at least 3 years of experience in the Early Childhood field and also have knowledge of policies and guidelines.
