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. The direct link is: http://www.zerotothree.org/early-care-education/child-care/choosing-quality-child-care.html.
Samantha,
ReplyDeleteCollege changed my whole view on internet and technology period. I come from a big family so we never had internet until I went to college. I think I created my facebook account my freshman year at college. I remember when facebook started you had to wait until somebody invited you to join....Now it is free to everybody....Anyhow, I truly enjoyed your post. I have did some siting on Zero to Three. I used this site in previous class as an resource. I would have wanted to read about the domestic violence and health newsletter. I always like to read about abuse and ways to prevent it or report it especially for children. I'm big on child protection and safety and it is important that child don't ever get abused. I'm looking forward to listening to te podcast I think its interesting and I like powerpoint presentations. Thanks for sharing!!!
Samantha,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post. Zero to Three provides a wealth of information; it seems this website you have mentioned is very good for parents looking for childcare. I will use this as a resource (thanks). In addition, the webcast sounds interesting as well, especially for learning gaining different perspectives on issues. Thanks for sharing!
