I have not received my newsletter from the National Black Child Development Institute, but I do know this organization focuses on, “improving child welfare services, making universal early care and education a reality, building family support services, pressing for educational reform and providing vital information regarding children’s health, through educating as well as advocating; methods to better and promote growth in lives of black children and families,” (NBCDI). The Early Childhood Commission in Kingston, Jamaica, is the other organization I subscribed to. This organization, “was established by the Early Childhood 

Commission Act (2003), in keeping with the strategic goal of the Government to improve the quality of early childhood education, development and programs throughout the early childhood sector,” (Early Childhood Commission, Government of Jamaica).  Also, after studying this resource, I subscribed to the Child Defense Fund.  All of these sites, and organizations were created to help educators, and educational administration have a purpose behind their everyday dealings. These organizations provide a resource that allows us to better serve every child and family that we may come across, with, “effective parenting education and support, effective preventative health care, early and effective screening, diagnosis and intervention for children who are ‘at risk, the provision of safe, learner-centered, well maintained ECI facilities, and effective and meaningful curriculum delivery,” (Early Childhood Commission, Government of Jamaica).
