Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources
Hello all,
I have tried to contact a lot of other professionals in the field of Early Childhood from the web address we were given: Yvonne Dionne, Juan Sanchez, Ruzanna Tsarukyan, Dr. Betty Chan Po-King, Jane Lin, and Gerda Sul Qendra Hap pcs Hapi. I have not chosen wisely. I emailed 6 different professionals overseas and I received returned emails letting me know that their emails were no longer valid. I work for the department of defense and I know that I can contact Child Development Centers on the military bases overseas. I have received permission from Dr. Darragh to use the DOD centers overseas and I will be able to find emails and information once I go back to work on Monday. Thanks for everyone’s patience with this matter. I am hoping that the directors of the Child Development Centers on military installations overseas will be able to provide a lot of good information on issues and challenges they see while working with Military children living overseas.
I did pick a wonderful website to subscribe to. I chose the Zero to Three: National Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families. I have used this website a lot, especially with the Military Family Project section of it. This organization supports military families and has used several bases for programs and learning opportunities in support of the children and families who serve. I love this website and have accessed numerous articles that give detailed information about how to help families and children before deployment, during and after deployment. There are numerous articles, books, pamphlets, training modules, and outreach tools to help children and families that serve this great country. I have used this website and its articles for research papers, trainings I have given, and for updating my own knowledge on helping the military children I take care of.
