I found many jobs available in my area that struck my passion in the early childhood field. I feel that the Great Start of Michigan is one of the leading programs for young children. Their mission is for all children in Michigan to be safe, healthy and eager to be successful in school. Great Start currently has a position available as the Great Start to Quality Assessment Specialist. Early Childhood Specialists would conduct assessments for preschool programs using the Preschool Quality Assessment tool. I recently recieved my PQA certificate which is required for this position. However, two years of experience conducting these assessments is also required. This is the only requirement I would need to fullfill in order to be qualified for this position.
MI Headstart Association provides for the delivery of appropriate child development activities to infants, toddlers, pregnant women, and their families in a home-based early intervention program. Headstart currently has a Early Headstart home visitor position available. This position requires a BA degree in Early Childhood as well as experience in providing home visits. I feel this position provides support to the family as a whole and would aid in the success of the child.
Many positions are available through local intermediate schools districts. For example, Muskegon ISD has position of a Early Childhood Center Coordinator. This position requires a BA degree or higher in the Early Childhood field as well as experience in preschool classrooms. This is a high interest to me as it allows me to work within many schools in order to provide support in the early childhood field.
It is reassuring to know that there are a variety of positions available in the early childhood field that would allow me to advocate for families and grow within this field. It is also reassuring to see the awareness of the need for these positions in the early childhood field.
