Exploring Roles in the ECE Community: Local and State Levels

Save the Children Early Steps to School Success (ESS) Program Specialist. This position develops, oversees, trains and conducts outreach to preschool age children and their families. They are responsible for guiding home visitors in their work with children and families. The ESS program serves families in my community. Save the Children is global organization that serves humanity in a variety of ways. They seem to me to be a vessel for services to those in need of resources.


Child, Youth and Teen Programs (CYTP) for military installations provide services locally and globally, as well. Their administrative professions work with caregivers and teachers in the field. They also use the Creative Curriculum from Teaching Strategies and the ECERS for preschool classrooms, these are two pieces of quality practice that I have worked with. Most of their administrative positions currently require a Bachelor’s Degree or higher.



Local Community College (Copper Mountain and College of the Desert) early childhood education faculty.  The early childhood divisions at my local colleges are expanding and evolving with the need and research in early childhood. In order to be a college instructor I need to complete my Master’s degree in early childhood, and I will then be able to teach courses in social science as well.
