The first organization that I have chosen for this assignment is Kids Included Together (KIT). KIT's is committed to create best practices training for early childhood programs. They commit themselves to include all children despite their abilities. This is something that is very dear to me. I find that often teachers are at a loss how to include all children, including children with more challenging behaviors. Unless they are diagnosed, those children often fall behind because they are seen for their challenges rather than their strengths. If I could work for KIT, I would like a job as a Military Support Specialist.Kids Included. I have worked with KIT before and find their support and trainings great. I would like to help military families all over the world and educators serving our military families to establish quality care programs.
Another organization that I choose for this assignment is the National Association of Education for Young Children (NAEYC). NAEYC is a brand name for quality care. The organization sets standards that help all kinds of programs ensure quality care. I have worked in centers who are accredited and know from first hand experience how much more quality these programs provide. If I could, I would choose to become an inspector who travels to the different early childhood programs to inspect them to ensure they are following NAEYC standards. I believe this is an important job since families trust programs who are accredited to provide better quality than other programs.
The last organization that I choose is Zero To Three. This organization is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to inform, train and support parents, early childhood educators, and policy markers to better the lives of infants and toddlers. Having two small children of my own, I can understand the importance of being educated about best practices to set them up for success in their later life. If I could choose a job opportunity, I would like to be a representative who educates others. I believe it is important to help others gain the knowledge to provide a better quality for their children.

Exploring Roles in the ECE Community: Local and State Levels
Since I want to work with military families in the future, I chose three organizations that work closely with Military communities. The first organization I chose is Kid Included Together (KIT). This organization helps military communities include children with and without disabilities. KIT can be accessed at http://www.kitonline.org/. It provides all early childhood professionals with great resources for ways to include all children.
Another organization I chose is the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). This organization can be accessed through http://www.naeyc.org/. NAEYC sets standards for early childhood educators to provide quality care. It is a great organization that is used by military communities to ensure the care they offer is of high quality and provides military families with care that will allow them to pursue their missions without having to worry about their families.
The last organization I chose is Zero-to-Three which can be accessed at http://www.zerotothree.org/. This organization is a great resource for all early childhood educators who work with young children. It is dear to me because it teaches about the difficult lifestyles most military families deal with. They have great resources on how to deal with deployments, frequent moves and much more.
Job opportunities that I would like to pursue are being an assessor for early childhood programs. This includes organizations such as NAEYC and different military entities such as CNIC or Army Headquarters. I would like to make sure that military children have a great place to succeed because I am part of the military community. So are my children and it is important to me that they have a great education. Military families have to deal with many changes and hardships. I want to make it possible for military families to have a place for their children and families without having to worry about their quality. Soldiers risk their lives every day in their job to protect us and I believe they should not have to worry about their children's education.
