  • 1.  How do I join the forum and book discussion

    Posted 03-19-2019 10:35 AM
    I tried emailing Jerletha McDonald, who was the contact on the discussion review I received on March 7,  to find out how to participate in the family childcare forum and book discussion.  I have sent 3 messages and have not heard back.  I am new to NAEYC and I must be doing something wrong.

    Any advise would be wonderful.

    Thanks, 
    Jamie Jenkins
