United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg/Smart Beginnings – because they developed a system to improve the quality of early care and education programs; parents of young children – their children are the future and I need the parents to understand why quality early education is so vitally important and lastly, law enforcement officials – they provide information on the end result according to some statistics of children that do not have the quality early childhood education experience. “Economic research shows that investments in children age 5 and younger improve school readiness and decrease crime, teen pregnancy, delinquency, substance abuse, and welfare dependency” (Voices for America’s Children, 2010).
The experiences that I believe that I need to competently work in the community and develop relationships with the state, local or communities of practice is to conduct firsthand research to ensure that these organizations are consistently pushing to reach the common goal of providing quality early education for all young children.
