 This is an organization that you can join and become apart of. It allows excellence in high-quality early care and education.  This Organization accredicts childcare center that operate by their beliefs. The Website allows you to access education to best cellar books and provides access to different articles of a variety of topics it allows you to gain some professional development.

When looking for articles I found that you have to become a member which I plan to do a little later in the semester. But while browsing through the website I can across the topic of family involvement. Under this tab that provided information on their principles of  effective family Involvement, There are six that the organization is accustomed to :

• Principle 1: Programs invite families to participate in decision making and goal setting for their child
• Principle 2: Teachers and programs engage families in two-way communication 
• Principle 3: Programs and teachers engage families in ways that are truly reciprocal 
• Principle 4: Programs provide learning activities for the home and in the community
• Principle 5: Programs invite families to participate in program-level decisions and wider advocacy efforts
• Principle 6: Programs implement a comprehensive program-level system of family engagement

Since learning more about this organization I have began to understand how to work in the classroom better. It provides a lot of resources for me to go to gain more knowledge about different situations. Becoming apart of this organization would be of great benefit to me because it something that is stressed about In my State.
