Establishing Professional Contacts

I began by trying to email several contacts that were on the Global Alliance page from NAEYC, however, most of my attempts were non-deliverable and bounced back.  I am still hoping to get a response from the rest of the emails that I have sent that did not bounce back as non-deliverable.  I also have sent out some messages through face book in hopes that I will get a response this way. So far I haven’t heard from anyone.  If not I guess I will have to look into option two as the way of completing my blog assignments for this class.   

Below is the list of contacts that I hope I will get a response from:

·         Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario

·         Home Sweet 2nd Home Childcare in British, Columbia.  I thought that this would be an interesting contact as she works in family childcare like I do.  

·         International Step by Step Association in Netherlands.

·         Camp Darby – Livorno Child Development Center in Italy. 

·         Early Childhood Australia Non-Profit Organization

 Expanding Resources


The early childhood website that I have chosen to learn more about is Zero To Three: National Center for Infants, Toddlers, and Families.  I have chosen this website because I have used it several times for a resource in the past, but, I have not had the opportunity to see what all it has to offer me.  I also chose this website as it is closely related to the age of children that I currently have enrolled in my family childcare program.

  1. Hi Randee,

    I looked at the Zero to Three website, I look forward to exploring it more thoroughly. I love the fact that there are professional growth opportunities. :)

  2. Randee, you made great attempts to contact with other professionals!! I hope you have success and hear back from the few you are waiting for! I love the NAEYC website, it is such a GREAT resource! I never thought to use that website to contact with professionals outside of the US, good thinking! :)

    I would love to hear if you hear back from the non-profit agency in Australia. I work for a non-profit and would love to hear from other non-profits!

  3. You are correct in saying that or no responses from the emails. In addition, many emails are inactive. I have sent several emails out, hoping that get some type of contact. As for the websites, I have not decided on one. I am leaning towards Zero to One.

  4. I also had problems sending emails. I sent sixteen emails before they started going through. I sent several emails in hopes of getting a response. Making connections through facebook is a great idea. I will also try connecting through facebook.
