Exploring Roles in the ECE Community
I have chosen these three based on the work that these organizations do within the community. One of the organizations I am involved in One Place, I am a teacher in the NCPrek/ Three School Program, that helps at risk children and families. One Place also provides education for parents/ families as well as education for teachers and home childcare providers. I was introduced to the united way of onslow county by my co-teacher she raved about what they represent and as I read about them, I can see why. The last one is Triple P- Positive Parenting Program and this program as well is new to me. My co-teacher also sent me to this site so I can see all the positive things that goes on with this program.
I was always raised to help others that need help. To not pity them but to help them accomplish goals they may have. So, through my life I have always participated in activities for the communities and the nursing homes. Below is the the three organizations that I have researched and a summary of their purpose.
United Way of Onslow County is a locally based organization dedicated to strengthening lives, helping people, and improving community conditions in our local community. They convenu and collaborate with partners from across the community non-profits, government, business, volunteers- to create opportunities for a better life for Onslow County's most vulnerable residents. They support community programs and initiatives that helps those in need and also prevent problems from happening in the first place (United Way of Onslow County).
Our preschool programs serve more than 700 children in both public and private sites annually. Through planned activities and play, children engage in critical thinking, problem-solving and teamwork in a warm, safe, and culturally aware environment. Teachers partner with parents to support each child's individual development, encourage social-development, and school readiness. One place collaborates with Onslow County Schools (OCS) to ensure a smooth transition into kindergarten. Giving children a strong educational foundation today sets them up for a lifetime of success.
Triple-P- Positive Parenting Program
Triple P is a parenting program, but it doesn't tell you how to be a parent. It is more like a toolbox of ideas.
Triple P helps you:
- Raise happy, confident kids
- Manage misbehavior so everyone in the family enjoys life more
- Set rules and routines that everyone respects and follows
- Encourage behavior you like
- Take care of yourself as a parent
- Feel confident you’re doing the right thing
