Week --Sharing Web Resources


This week on the Zero to Three website I checked out some of the outside links. One of the links that I looked more in-depth at was the Early Childhood Website: https://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/hslc/tta-system/ehsnrc. There was so much to do from there. For being 24 and in the generation of the internet, I am not a big fan of it. I never had internet until I was in college. It still feels weird to click a link on something like a webcast. However I found one really interesting from just reading it. It was called “Early Head Start and Child Welfare: A Compelling Collaboration for Supporting Families and Young Children Webcast”. It is an 86 minute webcast where professionals sat around a table discusses ways the two organizations worked together to provide a stable learning environment for children. This conversation brought up how the children were affected developmentally and how to work with children in a child care setting. The great thing about this webcast was that I could take notes with the PowerPoint that they provided with it. There was also a guideline that could be printed out to show when things were talked about. I collected all of these resources. I may not have listened to the whole thing from start to finish but I got to skip around and check out the different topics.

                This week the e-newsletter gives resources about domestic violence and mental health. You can read the descriptions about the books or texts that were suggested. However, you cannot download them without buying them.

This week we talked about the three barriers: accessibility, awareness, and responsiveness. Zero to Three had great resources for parents to use when finding a high quality program. One resource that I found was “Choosing Quality Child Care”. This goes into detail of what questions to ask a facility and themselves while looking. The resource also gives in detail what the program should look like, how it is ran, and what types of things should be seen physically. There were links to regulation laws and liscensing. I thought that that this was an amazing resource that all families should have when seeking child care for their children.
