Belonging to a professional organization is important for early childhood profe

Belonging to a professional organization is important for early childhood professionals to collaborate, meet, and be a part of a group. This group typically advocates for early childhood practices and often offers scholarships and grant opportunities to its members.
To prepare for this discussion, explore the early childhood organizations available to early childhood professionals (you may wish to use the following list of national early childhood organizations to identify such organizations). Once you’ve explored various associations, search for two early childhood organizations that offer funding opportunities to their members (you do not have to use one of the organizations listed in the web resource).
In your post, please share the following:
*Explain what interested you about each organization.
*What is the purpose of each organization?
*What resources does each organization offer to its members?
*Discuss the funding opportunities available through these professional membership organizations.
*What is the cost of joining each organization?
*If you owned a center, would you invest in a membership in one of these organizations?
Why or why not?
