Professional Goals, Hopes and Dreams


In the surrounding area of Porterville California, I'm willing to invest in quality care in the field of early childhood. I'm positioning myself to be an educator for your young adults in the field of early childhood. Speaking with local colleges in the area, resources from Tulare County Office education, and college professors. I believe that's professional in the field of early childhood one must take a risk to understand our young vision.
Overcoming these obstacles of opportunities in the community may involve networking with others. Networking with professors at local colleges such as College of Sequoia, Porterville College, Bakersfield College, Reedley College, Westhill College also with international resources is a part of a success pathway of life. Through collaborations, one may experience the wealth of knowledge in the field of early childhood programs and facilities.

What I plan to achieve in my professional growth is not to be the most popular person in the field of education, however, be diverse when dealing with family members and children in the field of early childhood. Creating a positive relationship of trust with families, being reliable with resources that support families trends. 
In which brings to hopes dreams and challenges in the field of early childhood. My hope is to empower the community families, Educators, and schools regarding early inventions strategies. My dream is to share “our visions” with one another in an adult setting. Empowering young Educators and family members through their experience/walk of early childhood exposure. In which, willing to be  exposed to many different challenges regarding race, gender, sex or age diversities situation in early childhood. My pursuit of happiness.
Working in the field of early childhood educators are faced with new challenges every year. Whether that's family, policies and procedures and local community affairs. Collaboration is one step closer to achieving a common goal.

In Tulare County Child Care Welfare Service we ( anyone working with children) are mandated, reporters.

California child abuse reporting law

The first child abuse report law in California was enacted in 1963. The child abuse and neglect report Act (CANRA) was passed in 1980. Over the years, number Amendments have expanded a definition of child abuse and the person required to report. California abuse report law is founded in penalty code section 11165-11174.5

What is Child Abuse?

The law defines a child as:

  • Physical abuse
  • Sexual abuses
  • Emotional abuse
  • Neglect
  • Severe Neglect

I believe all educated should be informed with any new information on mandated reporting.

If any Educators comes across a child expecting or is in a situation of child abuse, we should report within the first two hours of hearing any knowledge or viewing any incidents.

Reported to CWS (Child Welfare Service)
1-800-331-1158
SCAR reports within 36 hours

PO Box 671, Visalia CA 93279
FAX 559-730-2510

Darcy Massey, CWS Family Advocate
559-623-0371
Reporting Line:  1-800-331-1585

As Educators, we should be aware of our curriculum that goes on in child care programs as well as child abuse awareness.
