~Sharing Web Resources~

As you guys already know the website that I decided to explore is the National Black Child Development Institute at nbcdi.org.  


Unfortunately for me the website is still under construction so the information provided is limited.  I have tried to access several of the tabs and I either receive an fatal error message or a under construction tab.  So what i decided to do is give some information on an event that the NBCDI has provided a link to.

Head Start’s Eleventh National Research Conference

Welcome

Head Start’s National Research Conference is a biennial event, which provides practitioners, researchers, administrators, and policy makers involved in Head Start, early childhood, childcare, health care, and administration programs the opportunity to share research that promotes positive development in young children.

Goals and Objectives

Head Start's Research Conference seeks to identify and disseminate new research in early childhood and family issues, while encouraging dialogue among researchers, practitioners, and policy makers. Applied research ranging from major national program evaluations to small studies about child and family development will be presented.

Another initiative that the NBCDI is also involved in a campaign called Lets Move! Child Care State Challenge!

Let’s Move! Child Care State Challenge!

To reach more child care providers and encourage state participation in the Let’s Move! Child Care (LMCC) initiative, NACCRRA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and  the Administration for Children and Families Office of Child Care have launched  a nationwide competition, the Let’s Move! Child Care State Challenge. States  have the opportunity to be recognized in two categories: 1) the state with the  highest percentage of licensed or legally operating child care programs that  sign up as LMCC participants, and 2) the state with the highest percentage of  programs that complete the Let’s Move!Child Care Checklist Quiz.

 I apologize for not being able to provide more information, and hopefully the websites construction will be complete by the next blog post.
