Exploring Roles in the ECE Community

Mississippi Early Childhood Association.

 I chose this organization because they work to improve the quality of the program to best accommodate the child. They work together to improve the health and educational standards. These are two areas that should be kept current with plans. In Mississippi we are known to have high obesity rates so staying on board and up to date with plans would be a great idea.

Stewpot Community Services

This organization serves thousands of hungry and homeless men, women, and children. They provide them with food, shelter, clothing, love, and encouragement every year. I like this organization because they take time to nurture the needed people in the community.
