Exploring Roles in the ECE Community: Local and State Levels

Three local organizations that appeal to me are Prevent Child Abuse in Louisiana this organization is a non-profit organization and it appeals to me because children are so innocent that deserve the best in life. In a child care center I worked in there was two children who came every week with different bruises so as a child care teacher I suspected something was not right at home. A Child’s Wish is another organization is an organization that appeals to me because it is an organization that is there to cater to children’s needs. This organization is also a nonprofit organization. Every dollar they get they make sure to utilize it towards children and I really like that. I am a person who wants to give back to children so this is why I love this organization. The last organization that appeals to me is A Child Advocacy Organization. This organization appeals to me because they are there to make sure children grow up and finish high school. They are there to empower and educate parents and teachers so this could happen.

The jobs that interest me would be to find a director position in a child care center. I already work in a child care center and I enjoy doing it. I have been able to watch the children grow and help in their learning from potty training to teaching numbers, colors, shapes and so much more.  I love teaching because I am excited when they learn. Although I love teaching I just feel like I want to do something else and becoming a director is one in the child care field. This is the only job that really interests me in this field of study. Another job opportunity that I would like would be to work in a school setting with children who are getting ready to make the transition to 1^st grade just because I would like to get the experience of teaching those children. The skills needed for this positions needed for these positions are to have some years of experience. Some other skills are to know how to do first aid and have the right certifications and credentials.
