The early childhood organization that I chose is Zero to Three (www.zerotothree.com). This site provided a link that I found interesting specially within the early childhood field. The link to the Early Head Start National Resource Center contains valuable information to professionals, parents and etc. to help support these individuals in providing children a healthy and early head start in life.
While providing information such as publications, more web-based resources, special initiatives and activities that include audioconferences, podcasts and webcasts; this link is a great resource for those who are interested in this field.
The monthly e-newsletter provided by the Zero to Three for March 2010, discusses the use of evidence-based practices in early childhood. With insight and research from eight different article, professionals in the field state their understanding of the challenges and benefits of evidence-based practices.
In addition to the e-newsletter, there was a video that describes the first ever congressional briefing on 2/16/12 to discuss how to support homeless infants and toddlers. This video also discussed how one in every 45 children is homeless in the U.S.; which 70,000 or 42% of these children are aged 0-5 years. This information increased my frame of reference on how prevalent homelessness is within children and how I can begin to serve those I currently work with and others.
