Job Shadowing - Bringing in the Community

We sponsor an ongoing Job Shadowing project where we help centers and homes invite community leaders into their programs to educate about both the complexity of the work and the incredibly inadequate pay.

Imagine what it could mean for your program if a local business leader, a television anchor person or one of your elected officials had first hand knowledge of your work! They would understand the crucial role that teachers and providers perform in our society and see how poorly early childhood professionals are paid. The more people know about the economic constraints and educational benefits of early care and education, the more willing they will be to advocate for a greater investment of public dollars. A job shadowing project is also a great way of putting the media spot light on child care.
