Expanding Resources


While browsing through the websites, there was one particular website that grabbed my attention; that was the National Black Child Development Institute. The website was comprised of the history, initiatives, and affiliates.

The history contained information that revealed the purpose of the Institute and the goals in which they wanted to master. It was interesting to read how the Institute was started “to improve and advance the lives of Black children and their families, through advocacy and education”. And as a result of the purpose, there were several programs that were created to help achieve this goal. Programs such as Love to Read, Parent Empowerment and T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood are some of the programs that were developed as a result of the National Black Child Development Institute. All of the programs reflect components that are necessary for early childhood programs to be successful;  programs that include the parent and child.

The National Black Child Development Institute is comprised of affiliates that include chapters in various regions. The affiliates are dedicated to the NBCDI mission of improving and protecting the quality of life of African American children and families.
