A SECOND CHANCE IN THE FIELD YOU LOVE
WHAT WILL YOU CHOOSE?
In the early childhood field, I would like to be a director
of a center-base program. The director has a challenge of ensuring that the
program offers developmentally appropriate experiences for the children are
supportive of the needs of families and operate with sound administrative and
fiscal management. This job requires hard work and dedication, as any other
position, but it also requires for an individual to make executive decisions at
any given time.
I chose this program because I have a passion for servicing
families. I see and hear the complaints of many individuals, I will not cater
to all complaints because we will always have individuals who are never
satisfied. My goal is to ensure that the quality of the program is operated
effectively according to the best interest of the children.
The responsibilities for this job are to have a graduate
degree in child care administration. The effectiveness of the courses will have
to be implemented in order for an effective program to run.
Another job that I can see myself taking part in is a Family
Service Worker. A family service worker have a first-hand experience of working
with families. The family service workers have the opportunity to hear from the
parents to see the actual need and concerns they have about their children and
the environment that their child will be attending.
The requirements for a FSW is to obtain a bachelor’s degree
in human service and at least two years of experience working in the field or
one closely related. I chose this field because I want that close relationship
with parents where I am able to see exactly what the parents’ needs are. This
position also helps build trust between the parents who are leaving their
children in our care.
Lastly, I have dreamed of being a fiscal manager in the
early childhood field. I have only had a glimpsed of looking at a budget for an
early childhood program. The logistics of the financial portion of the program
hold a manager part of staying open and I want to understand how the money can
be stretch to sustain.
The qualifications of the field are BA or BS in Accounting
or Finance. One-to-five years’ experience in accounting, preferably in
nonprofit organizations or a Head Start program. Familiarity with
grants/funding applications. Ability to work independently, manage deadlines
and adapt to changing work demands.
