Organizations of interest:
The Child Development Agency in Jamaica wants “children, their families and team members to reach their full potential in a safe and nurturing environment” (CDA, n.d., para.1). I like that this agency wants to help not only children but families on a whole and its team members.
Zero to Three is a non-profit organization that provides the necessary persons with knowledge needed to foster early development. I like this organization’s mission, the services it provides and the fact that it targets young children (Zero to Three, n.d.).
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) helps families, children, communities and individuals to do well economically and socially. I that this organization helps all the above mentioned parties to find the resources that will enable them to be independent and improve their quality of life.
