Christian School Growth Opportunity

The Association of Christian Schools International is a fantastic website for networking and resource information. The website offers categories of programs, resources, conferences, workshops and much more. The Association of Christian Schools International also offers forums on the website especially in the social media section. This allows industry employers to network, ask questions, and receive feedback on social media vehicles as well as ways to which social media can accelerate the Christian Schools. Another section of this website is the Early Education Services which offers “Updates from the Fields”, new and exciting programs and ideas from each region of the United States. Throughout the entire association website there are networking links which lead the consumer to further information within the Christian community.

Signing up for the Southeast monthly newsletter will keep me abreast of the new and upcoming things that are happening. A great example in the July newsletter lets readers know there is now Federal Funding is now available for Professional Development. They also give further information about conventions where leaders can attend and network with other industry leaders. Another helpful piece to the association is webinars.  “Their goal is to enable educators to be effective and efficient in their education calling.” Looking into their certification section brought awareness to the option of going through the association as they offer certification for early childhood education leaders. This will allow my organization to be trusted more by families as they are confident in leaving their children with an accreditation school. This certification will allow my business to stand out above the rest and give a unique advantage.

Overall the association of Christian Schools International will also allow me to compare and see what other groups, organizations and leaders are doing across the country. Sharing ideas, collaborating with others can only help the industry succeed in a positive way for the children of the next generation. This is a website I will be adding to my RSS feeds and be joining as well as reading often as possible.

The Greater Atlanta Christian School has a fantastic website looking into the different levels students go through, from early childhood learning to elementary, junior and high school. The website has a large amount of information from clubs to activities to the presidents blog. Understanding the mission and networking with faculty from the Greater Atlanta Christian School will allow opportunities for Big Kid Care to partner for the students. Once students graduate from Big Care Kid program families would have a connection and understanding of where to send their children for elementary school. Networking and partnering with the Greater Atlanta Christian school will also all Big Kid Care to keep their curriculum in line with what is being taught at the school allowing for a smooth transition. Looking at the tuition also gives myself good bases for pricing on a yearly basis for Big Kid Care.
