The Early Head Start Early Resource Center (EHSNRC) is a
federal organization that provides federal, state, and private resources on
early childhood development. They provide podcasts on various topics that can
be downloaded to a computer, tablet or smart phone. It contains research
material on health and nutrition topics that educators and education providers
can download to become more educated. Materials can also be used as handouts
for families at open houses and at parent workshops.
If you serve families that are low income, this next federal
organization can provided the center with various foods. The US department of
Agriculture is a great organization to know. One can request fresh fruits and vegetables
to be sent to your program.
For housing and community assistance, this same organization
has a program called the rural development program (RURDEV). They provide
funding for single family homes, apartments for low-income persons or the
elderly, housing for farm laborers, childcare centers, fire and police
stations, hospitals, libraries, nursing homes, schools, and much more.
I would not like to work for any of these organizations but
I sure would like to collaborate with them. I am comfortable working in my
community.
