Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources

I emailed Haiti's Step by Step Program and is waiting on a reply from them. Once i get a reply I will post it on my blog page for the class to read. I chose them because I know that they are still trying to rebuild from the earthquake. Reading about this program gave me and idea that i will be taking back to my center and we will be sending them books in the spring.

I was able to pull information from each of these site to use to better my center. Zero To Three: National Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families is helpful because my center is expanding that unit so it gave us some up to date information to us. I post all them on my blog so that other people will be able to develop connections with out key players in the field of education
