Blog 3

I spoke with the director of the program as well as the family social worker. The director informed me that she is responsible for the operation of a comprehensive childcare program for children (2-12 years old) and related programs for their programs. She also coordinates parent-child activities, workshops and provides training to staff and and parents on parenting and child development. I asked the director about the difficulty of her job. She replied that managing the daily operations of pre-school and school-age programs to ensure compliance of programs according to city, state and federal guidelines and regulations is a tedious job. She went on to mention that she didn't mind having a difficult job because she's passionate about making a difference in the lives of children and families.

After speaking with the family social worker, she informed me that nutrition and assessments both fall under the category of health and I could use these components to focus on for my paper. This information gave me more insight into the area of health, which is the topic I chose for my paper.
