Establishing Professional Contacts


Using the Partners for Global Alliance for the Education of Young Children, I reached out to two professionals outside of the United States. The two countries I am interested in learning more about are Haiti and Germany. I am excited to learn more about both countries and the issues and trends that affect early childhood. One website I am interested in exploring further is Germany’s equivalent to the NAEYC, AGJ, Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Kinder-und Jugendhilfe or the Child and Youth Welfare Association. I will be very interested in exploring this website further and see how the United States early childhood initiatives compare to Germany’s early childhood initiatives.

  1. Hi Tanya, I hope that you are successful in connecting with the two early childhood professionals in Haiti and Germany. This will enable you to gain a new perspective as you will have the opportunity to see the many similarities and differences between three countries. I actually thought of trying to make connections with Germany as my husband is German, but for some reason I didn't and I chose two different countries, so it will be great to learn from you! :)

    It will be interesting to not only connect with an early childhood professional in Germany, but also find out information from Germany's AGJ website. I am curious to read about the comparisons that you will encounter between Germany and the United States.

    I wish you all the best in connecting with your contacts!

    Take care,
    Stephanie

  3. Tanya,

    The two countries you have chosen are very interesting. Have you received any information from them yet. I wonder how close will be the Child and youth welfare association compared to NAEYC? Let me know I am very interested. Good luck.
