Words of Inspiration and Motivation



Quote, Quote, Quote that Inspired me: 
 
“My passion comes from wanting to make a difference.  I’m not here to save the world, but I’m here just to make a difference in the community that I’m working. And to me, making a difference may sometimes mean helping one child be able to be successful in the classroom. .. One little sparkle will make a difference for me throughout the whole day.” ~ Raymond Hernandez, the Executive Director in School of Early Childhood Education at University of Southern California.  



 “It’s not all about you, you got to take your ego out of it and think about what’s best for this child. And you care about them enough to help them transition to what’s the next… what comes next and what’s best.” ~Renatta M. Cooper, Program Specialist, Office of Child Care, LA County Chief Administrative Office.




“When we strengthen families, we ultimately strengthen the community. Our goal is that parents everywhere work with supportive providers, feel confident in their parenting role, and form strong, resilient attachments with their children. To help achieve this, providers must be responsive to parents, knowledgeable about child development, and eager to see every parent succeed."~Dr. T Berry Brazelton
