NCCP

The part about the NCCP that struck me the most was their core values. They're all about strong families and healthy development. They are also one of the leading organizations to assisting with childhood poverty. Their values and their message to their audience was the most intriguing.

I've scrolled through their website several times and they have demographic details showing the poverty levels in certain places, which interested me the most. Considering the nations' economic status, I would figure that the cities that are already financially distraught would be the worst, but there has been interesting turnarounds.

The early childhood field is a strong field that yields development. There are always changes to try and make it more organized and more profound. The NCCP has strong values that add to the field and their values.

    Absolutely change is good and when implemented properly it makes it all the worthwhile. NCCP is definitely on track.

    I felt the same way about their website, I was actually shocked when i read the stats about my home state of Iowa.

    I also agree when you stated that the early childhood field is a strong field that yields development. Change is always a good way to start.

My Connections to Play

  • "Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning." By Fred Rogers
  • “The activities that are the easiest, cheapest, and most fun to do – such as singing, playing games, reading, storytelling, and just talking and listening – are also the best for child development.” ~ Jerome Singer (professor, Yale University)
  • “As astronauts and space travelers children puzzle over the future; as dinosaurs and princesses they unearth the past. As weather reporters and restaurant workers they make sense of reality; as monsters and gremlins they make sense of the unreal.” ~ Gretchen Owocki (childhood educator)
