National Association for the Education of Young Children

Canadian Childcare Federation
http://www.cccf-fcsge.ca/
Both websites and organizations focus on the betterment of young children. I located the Canadian website through the NAEYC Global Alliance, and decided to peruse it because of its close proximity to the United States. I was very curious as to whether they were similar or different.
I found both websites to be very similar with he same concerns such as child health, care, and professional development. There is also a concern on behalf of the Canadian Childcare Federation for Aboriginal Child Care because of the various Aboriginal Communities within Canada.
I love NAEYC website myself, I am a member and of our state affiliate NCaeyc and I receive the Journals, I was just digging through some of the old ones to get them all organised. Are you a member of the association, it makes alot more resources available with the memberships.
ReplyDeleteHello Karen,
ReplyDeleteI do agree with Jo, that NAEYC is a fantastic resource to be a member of, the wealth of information offered to it's members and it's level of resources is incredible. I receive a magazine that they offer called "Young Children" and it gives tips and resources on being a better educator and providing the best possible environment for your classroom.
Yes, I do belong and I enjoy all of the valuable resources...it helps we get the "student dues" price as well!!!
ReplyDeleteI am not yet a member of NAEYC. I was many years ago, but let it lapse. I feel that I should join again especially since my school is in the self study process.
ReplyDeleteDid you guys know that we get a discount on our tuition at Walden when you are a member? If you don't currently call and ensure you get the discount from here on out.
Thank you for sharing.
