Currently there are no positions available with this organizations.

 

The third organization is The Southern Early Childhood Association which consists of preschool, kindergarten, and primary teachers and administrators, caregivers, program directors and individual’s workings with and for families seeking to promote quality care and education for young children.

  1. Hi!

    The Southern Early Childhood Association sounds like a great organization. I also live in a southern state and wonder if this organization has a presence in my area. Even if they don't it seems like a good place to search for jobs within the field. Thanks for sharing.

  2. Stephaine,

    I feel it is great that there is great that there is an organization that focuses on children with disabilities. I feel it is important to make them feel that they are valued for who they are. What a great way for special education teachers to share and learn from each other. Which job appeals to you?
