The first agency that I am interested in working for is the Association for Early Learning Leaders (AELL). The AELL is committed to excellence in the field of Early Care and Education by promoting leadership development and enhancing program quality. I believe the reason for many early learning programs that fail because of the poor leadership. If a program has a good leader that will motivate staff and encourage parents the program will be a success. AELL goal is to strengthen the knowledge, skills and abilities of directors, owners, emerging leaders and other early learning professionals to ensue quality programs for young children.
